Jochiwon Peach Fest
Interesting day today! First free day! A girl called to wake me up. I braided her hair. In Korea it's really special to braid your hair and a lot of ppl don't know how. She was meeting her parents who she hasn't seen in 10 years! I felt special she asked me to help her get ready. Ate breakfast then met up with Tevyn and Sara and walked down the the big peach festival! This area is famous for it's peaches so i had to check it out. The whole place was mud but everyone was walking around so we sucked it up and went walking. Diff booths and stuff to try and buy. craft tables, cosmetics made from peaches, drinks/food, all kindsa stuff. I tried white lotus tea, peaches, juice, bulgogi, peach sunscreen and rice wine. All pretty good. IT WAS SO SO HOT! I've never sweated so much in my life! I jumped in with the natives and bought a box of peaches. It was 25,000 won for 13 peaches, more than i wanted to pay but everyone else was pushing and yelling and I was proud of myself for gettin involved and figuring out how much everyone else was payin lol. Went back in time for lunch. Then chilled out til dinner. Tried to wash my muddy shoes but i think they're ruined. Later 30 or more ppl started walking into town for Noribong! (karaoke) The town was small but there were karaoke places on every corner! 10 of us got a room. It was crazy, disco ball, speakers, laser lights, multi colors videos the whole thing! Everyone got really into it. Me and the twins were just watcihng and enjoyin everyone else. We all managed to order Soju from the ppl who didn't speak english lol. I finally and did my first karaoke before we left, nothing impressive. it's more fun to watch. Walked home and about to crash! Everyday feels so long here!
