So, here's a little taste of the culture we experience any time we walk off of the base! This was a festival, to honor the "friendship" we as Americans have with the Koreans. This first picture is right outside of the base, this is what we call "downtown".
This man sits outside of the gate (the gate that goes onto the base), and sells "Rolex" watches along with hats and some wooden jewelry. He's funny and always speaks when you walk by. He likes to dance! He was trying to balance the umbrella....never a dull moment around here!
Just wanted you to know that this is the only blond Korean I've ever seen! He was making these little things...not sure what they are called. Kinda like a funnel cake on the outside and some jelly filling on the inside...not bad. We got some, and gave them to one of the Korean maintenance men in our apartment....he was grateful.
There was a lot of food.....very little we dared to try....but, we did get the kids some cotton candy!
One of the many souvenir shops
My precious kiddos!
A hog being roasted....Jordan was really interested in this...he kept wanting to go see it, and asked where the other part of the pig was.
unknown cuisine
Jannah with the Thai women; not really liking the clasped hands....not sure what that means in their culture!
more Korean entertainment

Looks like fun...we should've gone I guess...but maybe after being here for the third year now, I don't particularly want to be friends with any Koreans...so huummpphh!!!! Just kidding!! ;)
Looks like ya'll saw a lot more intersting things while out and about than we did... maybe we walked through it all too quickly??
Great post!
I loved this festival last year....and free!
