We had an opening ceremony in the afternoon which included some displays of a drumming dance, taekwando and a fan dance too. The Taekwando was definitely the most interesting and visually stunning and included some very fancy kicking the tripe out of wood and apples!
Here's a quick video of some of the bum-kicking fun!
And some pics of the rest to give you some idea of it:
After this we had a grand buffet dinner - thankfully we were the first to cotton on that the food was already sitting waiting for everyone and quickly getting cold so we jumped at the opportunity to warm up a little with the various dishes presented - some tasty... some just a bit iffy to our palates!
The venue was so cold that in the end we decided to head down into the town and find a pub where we could all sit and chat in a warmer surrounding!
Saturday would see us all having our first full day of lectures, Korean Language lessons and a Korean movie to watch... so we ended up having a quiet and early night... ...was that enough to convince you??? There were a few soreheads the next morning but that was due to Jetlag... yeah... that's the answer everyone is sticking to!
