I Still Have Tomato in my Ear! - Hwacheon Tomato Festival

So this weekend was the Hwacheon Tomato Festival in Gangwon-do province, South Korea. And let me just start off by saying that it was awesome. I went into it with the mind set of, well....not expecting anything, because basically everything is a festival in Korea (Butterflies, Oranges, Chocolate, Tea....the list goes on). Anyway I am losing focus, Tomato Fest. Basically there were different activities that you could do, obviously all involving tomatoes, from eating spaghetti, drinking tomato makoli and having tomato fights or football matches. The best by far was the madness in the tomato pit, where you had to search for 10 Golden rings that were in there between the tomatoes and the chaos. Now I had some awesome footage on my camera, but I got a little adventurous in the river looking for some trout (you could catch them with your hands) and my camera is now at the bottom of some rice paddy. Luckily however....

There were only 9 or so foreigners there, so we were basically celebrities and had a camera crew following us around, so I was able to search the net and find some pictures...take a look below, and if you ever hear of a Hwacheon Tomato Festival, you must sign up immediately it was great.
