The two girls woke up at 7.30am to take a bus to Wangshimni Subway Station to take the subway to Nambu Bus Terminal to take an express bus to Boryeong Bus Terminal to take a local bus to Daecheon Beach to attend the Boryeong Mud Festival (보령머드축제) (www.mudfestival.or.kr/index.html). The whole journey took them 6.5 hours. Along the way, they had a lot of fun. For lunch, they ate at another Kimbap shop. Shuyi had Meat Dumplings (고기만두) while Geraldine had Kimchi Kimbap (김치김밥). Geraldine loves the way the dumplings look. They are like sexy doughnuts.
The girls are really proud to have purchased their express bus tickets to Daecheon. It was a little scary because they had to make do with the little Korean they know, but everything worked out just fine. Thanks to the really efficient Korean transport system.
When they reached the event venue, they were pleasantly greeted by a carnival atmosphere.
They had to take many many photos to prove to those who thought that they weren't able to get past the bus terminal. Girls aren't that weak! Hng!~
Of course they couldn't resist the fun and the supposed good health effects of the mud..
Geraldine loves everything about the festival, even the dustbins..
And the girls made their own way back to Seoul. They spent a total of 10 hours travelling but they know that it's worth it for all the time and money. Who would have thought mud was this fun?
For dinner, the two girls attempted to order chicken delivery. The ajeossi at the shop doesn't speak English so Geraldine tried her best to understand him and she put to good use half of what she learnt to say during a delivery order on the phone. Hopefully her Korean teacher is proud of her. 30 minutes later when the chicken hasn't arrived, the two girls went downstairs to ask the guard if the delivery guy came and was told that food is not allowed in the dormitory. He just kept telling them that but luckily, a kind couple overheard and told them the delivery guy came and left. The girls called the chicken shop again and he came back, telling them he was unable to call them because it's an overseas number. Well, no matter what, the girls are glad to have food in their stomachs after the last meal 12 hours ago.
Korean chicken delivery consists of three important/basic components - fried chicken (프라이드 치킨), spice chicken (양념치킨) and radish cubes (무). Geraldine likes the spice chicken better as they don't make her feel as guilty eating the fried chicken. It's like go-lo-yok, Singapore's sweet-and-sour pork. It's fried but it's pretending not to be fried. The two girls love the radish cubes as they are refreshing after every mouth of sinful meat. The two girls also found weird chicken parts like neck in their dinner, and some parts were unidentifiable. Maybe Biology Class should have taught them something more useful.
