Bultanan Saram - Korea's Burning Man

katlyn's my hero. she'd been to burning man in the states (proclaiming and preaching it's wonders) and when the time rolled around she sorted everything out and started korea's first ever burning man celebration. a fantastic concept. if you've never heard of it or seen anything about it, i suggest you look into it here. the week long event is where it's at, but because this is korea, and week long holidays just don't happen we chose a weekend and did our best.

1) be open to life
2) be honest with yourself
3) bring something to share...
doesn't matter... sharing is caring
4) be yourself, no judgement. 
silly, serious,
manic, nutters and crazies - 
all are welcome 
as long as you come in peace

meet up - check point #1

after a good deal had gathered at the main subway change before gimpo airport we headed further on along the airport railway through incheon and to the ferry, picking up many followers as we progress. a lotta looks, questions and giggles


bus stop outside the airport... soju syringe shots
meeting place - check point #2 

a duck... walking backwards :p

convicing irish cricketeers to join the fun!

hair prep and overall absurdity on the ferry

covered mudflats



the thing about  muuido beach/island is their impressive mudflats. a spectacular sight to see while you're in korea. the go on for miles when the tide is out, and come all the way in right up to the tide marking and suddenly you're in hip deep water. it was really amazing to watch the tides coming in over the mudflats. a gentle constant surge of water, no crashing ocean waves. very unique and quieting.
