Superb Seongju Life Festival

It was Friday on 17^th May, 2013, and a holiday of Budha’s birthday made it as first day of well awaiting long weekend.

As usual KTO provided us an unique opportunity to explore an ancient village of Korea, its Korean Culture as well as a beautiful Life festival in a nearby city.

BnB Heros were the real heros of the trip as they facilitated all the trip.

They provided us transport, breakfast, lunch , a dinner during this memorable and interesting one day trip.
Initially, after a long travel from Seoul we reached directly for lunch, it was traditional Korean food with many side dishes.

Then we went to see ancient houses of a very old village. There we saw many old houses. Guide informed us all about the village, its history, houses, ancient life style, and all related interesting stories even about many flowers, plants and trees. Beautiful scenes of green hills and villages were seen from those houses.Some houses were model other were the real houses of different people, who were living in there actually.

Then BnB Heroes Buses brought all of us to the lovely Seongju Life festival, it was a huge festival, with alots of colors, music, excitement and fun. Seongju is a small city famous for its Melons, we had some and those were delicious.

There were many stalls of different things, each stall was unique , some were food stalls, others were totally traditional.

Me with my friend Alam Zeb were interviewd by a Korean host which was showen on T.V locally.

 

A stage was also set for the performances and the a traditional and cultural parade was also there of many groups, having many dances, drums, even horses, etc

A small water park was also set up in a stream, where all kids were having their best time.

There were many families in the festival and kids were really enjoying.

 

I noted the festival was not only an outing for the people of Seongju but also providing them education, information and awareness about important life aspects related to health, agriculture, and community.

In short the Seongju Life festival was full of Life and smiles.

BnB Heros gave us opportunity to bring some friends, so I managed to bring my couple of friends. And I have also made some new friends there as well.

I enjoyed the trip a lot, and my naughty friends company made this trip one of the best of trips of my Korean Life.

Thanx KTO, Thnx BnB Heroes.
