Wanderlust: Oops!

Okay, so I know that it has been a very long time since my last post. I haven't been doing too much at all, but then I realized the other day that I never posted about the Colorful Daegu Festival or my trip to Yeongju, so here it goes!

Every year in October Daegu holds a weekend festival that totally envelopes the entire downtown. They had performers everywhere, art showcases, music showcases, and you could do anything from having your face painting to eating traditional Korean food. At the end of Saturday and Sunday night they held a huge parade. Their parade isn't like ours, however. There were very few floats. The parade mainly consisted of people ranging from very young (I am going to say 4 or 5) to university students and beyond. They were all dressed as different things. In fact, there was everything from a group of people dresses to represent the countries around the world (Guess what America was? Yep, that's right, a cowboy) to Price Charming, Snow White and the Evil Queen (whatever her name is!), to zombie brides and vampires. Elvis Presley also made an appearance along with Jack Sparrow, Obama and Putin. The best part was that I arrived before the parade started and got to take pictures with them all, which made them quite happy! And, as a picture is worth a thousand words, I will quit writing and let you see for yourself!
