Comfortable shoes, umbrella

BUS

The day started with a bit of rain in the morning, but luckily it didn’t last long ☔️ We all gathered at Yangjae Station and to my surprise there were four full buses of participants 👀 So many of us! The atmosphere was super friendly people from all over the world laughing, chatting and ready for a fun day ahead. The buses were really nice and comfortable (honestly, probably the best ones I’ve ever taken for these kinds of events 😭). After about an hour we arrived in Anseong and took some group photos to remember the trip.The festival itself felt so lively and colorful - local stalls were selling 사과대추 (apple jujubes), shine muscat grapes, cute flowers, and even ice cream for just 1,000 won?! 🍦 There were also juicy steaks and all kinds of traditional snacks. We got food coupons, so everyone could enjoy lunch freely at the food zone. We had our meal under the wooden pavilions, chatting and laughing it felt like a cozy picnic. After lunch, I explored the fairground with new friends joined a few activity booths, and watched some traditional performances. Honestly, it was such a beautiful way to spend the first day of the festival — warm, cheerful, and full of energy
