In October, I convinced Neil to go to the Kimchi Festival in Gwangju. He's not exactly a fan of kimchi at all, so needless to say this was as appealing to him as picking up dog poop for complete strangers. We were going to take a bus there but it was a bit complicated ad we were running late so we grabbed a taxi instead. The ride was about $5 and took us like 15 minutes to get there. It's amazing how inexpensive taxi rides are here. It's awesome.
When we got there, it was super busy! I wanted to try all the different kimichis and there was a row of tents that lets you sample it. Some were spicy, some were sweet-ish and some were pretty sour. It's pretty yummy. But unfortunately nothing really stood out for me. And I can't buy that much kimchi since I'm the only one that will eat it.
Neil got stopped by some university students to ask him some questions about Japanese and Korean food and then took a picture with us. Next to the highlight of the festival, I paid a few bucks and made my own kimchi and put it in a super cute container! Once I am done this kimchi I can use the container to put rice or something.
There was a lot of mascots at the kimchi festival, they were mascots of vegetables used in kimchi making.
