The 2008 Andong Mask Festival-but you could probably tell already.
Got this one walking through a horde of people dressed in incredibly ornate costumes. Was rather fun actually.
Spotted this classy lady walking with her hand bag dressed in tradional Hanbok.
The face of the statue is representative of one of the tradional masks worn in a dance peasants preformed during the Joseon Dynasty. It was typically a satire poking fun at the Korean elite. Now the elite put on a festival to parade around their politicians and turn a buck off the peasant culture.
Kelly, China Women, + Sarah
"Welcome! I'll need you to put the backpack down, raise your hand over your head and spread your legs."
This guy was relaxing to the fullest. White gloves and all.
They had several types of puppets. Sarah got one that looks more like a monk.
Say, "Kimchi!!!"
A bit of tradional Korea dance, dress, and music.
This lady looked like she walked right off a movie set. She was great!
She was a lot of fun, too. They took photos with everyone, but they didn't turn out to good.
Our friend Dale takes a second to pose for this one. I'm not going to cut on him while I'm still living in Korea. He's a bit of a loose cannon. He once nearly flipped his tank while on maneuvers in the Outback.
Some days just aren't that happy in Korea.
These guys share their head dresses with the local highschool cheerleading squads during the week. Communism still has a hold on some parts of Korean society.
Would have paid a hundred bucks for a paintball gun!
"Come on Kim Su. I see big brother running this way."
"Hey...pass that over here Mr. Lee. You geezers are going to drink it all!!!"
