AMEN.
It was my third time and I had fun. I did't have to get drunk and make an ass of myself to enjoy myself either. |

Probably no more than most foreigners watching Koreans act in South East Asia and thinking the same. |

It can be a bit overwhelming, even if you live in Seoul and are used to seeing other non-K folks around. However, perception probably plays tricks on you. I'd say it's 70% Korean 30% foreigner at it's peak of waygookiness. It just seems like there are a lot more. |

Was I at the same mud festival?
The main thing I was thinking the whole time was, "Where is this horde of drunken foreigners everyone warned me about?" Yes, there were plenty of us there, but for the most part, I felt like I was surrounded by Koreans that found a ridiculous amount of amusement in painting themselves with mud. We foreigners might hold the award for most alcohol consumption, but I thought that the Koreans acted the "craziest" in regards to mud activities and such on the beach.
I had a great time this weekend, although it was NOTHING like I expected... mainly since I went into it thinking it was going to be a big foreigner orgy experience of epic proportion. The photographers mainly seemed to want to take pics of foreigners, though, so that's probably why the proportions seem so skewed if you didn't go.
I don't understand how people that did not go, and have never gone, can pass such harsh judgment on the whole thing, though. |

Do Koreans participate in this thing, and do Koreans over the age of 12 go? Or is it just a bunch of foreigners running through the mud humping each other's legs? |
You should know how to say A$$.
Clown is 광대. somehow I think something will be lost in translation.
Go to one of your work mate and say 엉덩이광대. They'll probably know where the stupid foreigner is then  |

Just make sure you go to the "WASHROOM FOR FOREIGNERS ONLY" restroom, or you might end up naked and muddy in jail.....  |

It was a good laugh, I can take or leave the mud thing but the beach is nice and one could go for a swim in the sea without freezing your nuts off.
Nice town as well, my one whine would be the range of restaurants......if you don't like seafood your options are a long queue at Lotteria or a 7000 cheeseburger at the (unsuprisingly) deserted foreigner food stall. |

Don't forget the pizza place with a 40 minute wait time. Or the kalbi places. Or you could order Domino's. Domino's had a plane fly buy with the phone number fluttering after it. Pure genius

Considering that it's a KOREAN festival, I don't see how likely hippies are behind its establishment as a KOREAN festival.... |

Boryeong City has abundant resources and beautiful scenery with mountains and beaches. It is a blessed place where has been called Every world in Boryeong cause the citizens have lived in splendor from generation to generation at the place of the great scenic beauty.
We invented seven kinds of cosmetics including Mudpack after we processed the qualified and quantified beach mud gathered from the pure plain near to Daecheon swimming beach on July 1996. It was proved by prominent research institutions such as Korean Research Institute of Standards and Science, Korean Research Institute of Chemical Technology, Taepyungyang Technology Institution, Dr. Kim, Jae-baek and the team workers in Wonkwang Univ. etc. that Boryeong Mud cosmetics have much far-infrared factors good for humans body and also have higher Germanium, Mineral and Bentonite contents compare to imported products.
And also, we got ISO 9002 Certification in 2001. Accordingly, we wanted to let people know the superiority of Boryeong Mud, the good product, Boryeong Mud Cosmetic and also to advertise for the sightseeing place including Daecheon swimming beach. So, we held the festival July 1998 for the first time and now we are to bring up this festival into a global one.
Boryeong Mud Festival has been held at Daecheon swimming beach, where has unique shell-powered sandy beach only in Eastern countries. So, you may swim and massage with mudpack at the same time. Furthermore, there are Mud massage programs (Self massage at the Beach, Ultramodern mud massage) and Mud Experiential Land program using mud powder made through the processing procedure, that is, we gather mud from pure plain and remove all impurities.
There are many events such as mud wrestling, mud king contest, mud fireworks fantasy and mud sliding. There will also be a photo competition in which past members have come in first place. This is a high profile event. There is a gorgeous beach there as well, which will come in handy as you won't have any chance but to get dirty. You will be put into a prison until you get some mud on your body.
You will have a chance to join the adventurous silt extreme training experience. This will be a various marine-type extreme training courses on silt such as silt basic training, games, cavalry battles and human pyramid. The mud itself is very good for your skin and health, so you can save yourself some money on a facemask and come along with us. At night, you can relax or experience some games and watching fireworks with good friends at the gorgeous night beach. The beach itself is very beautiful and a great place to go swimming, and this is one of the biggest festivals in Korea, so please don't miss out on this great day! Be sure to specify which day you would like to go.
In addition, there are 78 big and small islands including a fantastic one like God kneaded and 36 precious cultural heritages like Woiyeon-do, Muchangpo sea road famous for Mosaic Miracle, Cold pool even you feel chilly in summer, Coal Museum, National Treasure, Namhyehwasang Baekwol Bogwang Monument and etc., so visitors can sightsee and enjoy all those things. Hence, we are to let people know Cultural sightseeing in Boryeong as a related one and also advertise Boryeong Mud Cosmetic broadly to home and abroad. |
So basically a horde of drug crazed hippies didn't create this festival. Let it go...this is the work of drug crazed Korean hippies who want to make money off of the natural resources in the area....Crafty free love, tie-dye wearing, reefer smoking Korean hippies... |
