getting time off again

Wow, it's been a while and i havent even finished the previous vacation...
The weekend after Jen and Suzie were here, we all went to the mud festival in boryeong on daechon beach. it was craziness, as expected. christa, joe, cliff and i met joan and rob at the say motel in cheonan on friday night to wake up early and get to the beach early. good plan. take train at buttcrack and head to the beach. long taxi ride to motel--venus motel. have big discussion about room with owner--paid for 6 people, wanted to add two, would pay more--no. changed into swimsuits and headed to the water. had to walk a ways but on our walk who should we discover on a pallet barely awake? SHAB of all people. she had apparently had a crazy night hte night before and couldnt find her motel or something, not quite sure. we called amanda who claimed her. she was lucky that night. no details, we'll just leave it at that.
as we were returning shab, beard called, he, will and greg, were in town and looking for the beach. they had ridden down on their bikes the night before and stayed at a jimjilbang in boryeong. they found us and we were finally on our way to the MUD. we walked to the tables where they were just GIVING the stuff away and put it everywhere--friends help with backs. then it was time to get beer. the place was PACKED with people--ive never seen so many people covered in mud at one time. and i think most were waegooks. we found michelle--in line for the mud slide we didnt know existed and she graciously let us cut. mighty nice. christa and i went down the slide together--SO much fun. huge vat of mud at the end we basically threw ourselves into.
From there things get a little blurry. I remember the boys hijacking someones airmattress and playing king of said mattress. then we saw krista and adrienne, then joan and i were jumping waves for a long time. Hunger set in and we walked back to the motel to shower and change. went to a fish AND pork restaurant, this rarely happens except at festivals. walked back down to the action. stumbled on some more waegooks from gumi and a couple air force guys--donald and joel. listened to music, ended up at a night club, then to a gs25 to have an unneeded beer. christa me us there and we wandered back to our motel. it was a LONG walk.
woke up the next morning tired yet mud free. took a taxi to the beach, probably slower than walking. couldnt find pizza and the line for lotteria was VERY long. decided to head to the town and get pizza there. no problem. joan and rob got on an earlier train, cliff and joe headed for seoul, beard nad will went on a very long very wet ride, and christa and i went in search of a movie theater or dvd room. found neither. settled on a pc bang and then covered market. train ride back was loud. canadians singing and being drunk. at the other end of our car were americans singing and being drunk.
met evan at the station in cheonan and took train to gumi. stood in line wiht evan for taxi--we are now BFF.
and that was the mud festival. i took a disposable camera--obvious reasons--and when i get the pictures onto cd, they'll come on here.
