Around the time that we found out our placements, we told Curt that we would come visit him in Andong for the Andong Mask Festival. Andong is known as a very cultural part of Korea, that even the Queen of England visited for her 73rd birthday!
It was a neat festival with many different masks, performances and activities.
When we were at the festival we decided to make our own
mask. We were given a blank white mask and some colored foam stuff that
would dry hard. We could make any design that we wanted, and I decided
to attempt to make the creepiest, weirdest combination mask that I could
think of. I ended up with a mask that embodies a Korean Guy Fawkes who
is supportive of gay rights... I don't know how this happened...It just
did! ahah

We tried the corndog with french fry pieces on the outside... It was interesting and strangely sweet!
We watched a traditional dance and had no idea what was going on!
There were fireworks at night but because of some rain they were cut short and postponed for the following weekend... sad faces!
