헤이리
A couple of weekends ago my boyfriend proudly drove me to
Heyri in his first car. This is an enormous complex consisting of galleries of every kind: film, pottery, paintings...or at least in theory. When we got there only half of the builidings were occupied. Either the place is new or the owners of the exhibitions came and went.
One of the places we visited was a
Dalki exhibition, or rather a Dalki mini-theme park. Dalki is a popular fashion character, though I wonder at the target age group. The exhibition was really like a big play area with tunnels, ball pools and the like, plus a shop selling the full Dalki range of products. There were statue Dalki characters ( I presume) and a hat section were you try on different style hats and pose for a photo (I don't actually know the correlation between the hats and Dalki). Moreover poo seems to be a theme in the Dalki products...as I mentioned in my previous blog somewhere, Korean people as a culture seem to be a little obsessed with poo, and I really do not understand why. Even boyfriend cannot understand it.
After that we drove round the complex, and found a posh pottery/coffee shop place. There we drank our tea and then sat out in the garden to shade ourselves from the blare of the sun. We soon left after that as it seemed that there was not much to see. On the way back boyfriend pointed out North Korea from the other side of the river, and shouted out the EXACT look-out post he was stationed in during his time in the army. It was quite a surreal view: barbed wire running the full length of the river that divides the two countries, and industrial buildings (it seemed) located by the river on the otherside. Me being stupid asked" why don't you just build a big wall, rather than just the wire?" "Because we are not Chinese....we are not going to build the Great Wall of China" came the reply. Humph.

Which poo do I mix? How can I make the perfect poo smell? Dog poo? Fly poo?
I doubt that you would find this in a place for kids in England... or maybe I would

Pentaport Rock Festival
Last saturday I spent until the early hours of Sunday morning wading through mud up to my shins.
Why? Because I went to the
Pentaport rock festival!!!. MBC TV cameras were there, and the cameraman filmed me directly for a while as I jumped up and down and pulled silly faces. I wish I could find that footage...
The Festival also made it to the
National Newspapers.
I paid W80,000 on the Saturday to see Placebo, the Black Eyed Peas and various other unknown bands. My collegues however (Tim, Rachel, Mike and his korean friend) were dedicated enough to stay there from Friday night to Sunday. I did not return to my motel room until 6am or so, only to be woken at 11.15am by half-naked Tim knocking on my door.
I forgot to take my camera, so I have no photos to upload onto this site (waaaaaa!!! sob).
