Fun in the Mud


I have found a new way to escape and have fun. Every year, a special kind of festival is held in Boryeong City in Korea. In Daecheon Beach, thousands of people, both Korean and non-Korean come together for one purpose: to have fun in the mud! Yes, I go to Korea every year during summer to bathe, swim, ski, dance in mud!

I didn’t know what to expect the first time I went there but good thing I went with my best friend so both of us had a lot of fun. The next year, we brought our families and friends with us and it was double the fun.

Why get a Boryeong Massage



Why would Koreans and foreigners like me want to do this in the first place? The answer is more than meets the eye. Aside from the obvious fun of doing all sorts of things while covered in mud, it is the beneficial nature of the mud itself for the skin that draws thousands of people into Daecheon Beach in Boryeong.

I happen to enjoy the mud massage after a tiring day of playing like crazy and like a kid in the mud. Good thing there is such mud massage in the Boryeong. I really can’t wait for next month’s trip to the beach!
