Korea's Festivals

Geraldine just visited KTO's homepage again and found out that they listed all the festivals that will be happening all around Korea till forever, so she started planning her itinerary till end of the year using excel spreadsheet. Perhaps she's being too ambitious but she went through the whole list and narrowed down to the "few" that she's interested in and chose a tentative date that she will attend the festivals. It looks like this for now..

17 July - Boryeong Mud Festival @ Daejeon-gwangyeoksi, Chungcheongnam-do
15 August - Gangjin Celadon Festival @ Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do
5 September - Yeongdong Nangye Traditional Music Festival @ Yeongdong-gun, Chungcheongbok-do
12 September - Hyoseok Culture Festival @ Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do
26 September - Yangyang Songyi Mushroom Festival @ Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do
27 September - Cheonan Heungtaryeong Dance Festival @ Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do
3 October - Andong International Maskdance Festival @ Andong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do
4 October - Jinju Namgang Yudeung (Lantern) Festival @ Jinju-si, Gyeongsangnam-do
11 October - Gimje Horizon Festival @ Gimje-si, Jeollabok-do
17 October - Gwangju Kimchi Festival @ Gwangju-gwangyeoksi, Jeollanam-do
18 October - Ulsan Oegosan Onggi Festival @ Ulsan-gwangyeoksi, Yeongnam

There are many more which she didn't give a chance to, but she guesses these will keep her really really busy. Altogether there are 34 Festivals from July to December. She wonders how many of them will she eventually get to go. As you can see, the peak period is during September and October. There are just 2 festivals in November which she ain't terribly interested in, and none in December at all. Not that she's complaining, because final term examinations will be in December and she will need all the time in the world to prepare for final project submissions and start mugging for written papers. If you haven't already noticed, all the dates are during weekends. She expects to be stuck in school during weekdays gobbled up by design work and site analysis visits. Let's just hope she won't become squashed in the weekend crowd. But then again, it may be a good way to slim down after months of Korean BBQ Pork Belly and Soju/Maegju/Somaeg. ^^

많은 곳으로 가고 싶다.
많은 것을 하고 싶다.
많은 사람을 만나고 싶다.
많은 친구를 사뀌고 싶다.
그런데 시간이 많지 않다.
6개 월이 길어 보이지만 사실은 많이 너무 짧다.
