Apple Festival in Cheongsong

I took the bus at 6:40am with another teacher to Andeok to meet a few other teachers to go to the Apple Festival. Festivals are really common in Korea; each festival has a theme and it's usually what they grow or make (peaches, apples, parsimon, lanterns, steel...)

We left for the festival at 9:10am and got there after 30mins. It was probably one of the bigger festivals in Korea. I got so much free and good food. The apples were delicious!!

Jim duk; the one thing I love in Korea. 

We had plans to hike after the festival but it got really cold and we were afraid it will be too late to get back so we called it off. Plus, we got free apples so our backpacks were heavy by then. We left the festival around 2pm and had jim duk and fried chicken for lunch. I love love jim duk!!! It's my most most favoritest food in Korea! Did I say I love jim duk because I love it!! We left and waited for the bus in the cold for about 30 mins and finally got on the bus back to Pohang. 

I had a good day because mainly because of the teachers I met. They were very funny and we had many random laughters. It's too bad they live a bit far from Pohang. It would be nice to see them again. 

It was made out of flowers. 

I couldn't resist taking a picture of this old and very cute (strict?) Korean couple. They are linking arms. 

I was freezing but look at those apples!!!

I think they are from Peru...Singing in Spanish!

I thought it was really cool! 

He doesn't look too happy. 

Not sure why they were burning the masks. 

Good day and good company.
