Saturday I went to the Nonsan strawberry festival and honestly I don’t think I’ve ever eaten that many strawberries in one day!
My friends and I met up at the train station around 2 and went straight to a farm to pick our own strawberries. Basically it was $10 for all you could eat strawberries plus a jar of homemade strawberry jam and homemade strawberry soap to take home! We literally spent 30 minutes picking and eating every strawberry in sight and once we were finally full we headed to the actual festival.
I’m always surprised at how organized these festivals are! There are food vendors, live entertainment, and cultural activities for as far as you can see. It’s like going to the state fair ever weekend! My friends and I tasted strawberry makoli, strawberry slushies, chocolate dipped strawberries, and strawberry cake! We actually got to decorate the cakes ourselves, which was a lot of fun… and very messy!
Once we never wanted to see a strawberry again we headed to Daejeon for the night. We took up an entire floor of motel rooms and then headed out for dinner and drinks. I love how easy it is to go from one city to the next without any plans, definitely one of the perks of Korea.
Today is Wednesday, so my day off. I decided that the haircut last week wasn’t enough and I wanted to try dying it! I went for all over blonde highlights and I think she actually did a really good job. Again, no appointment, just walked in and she sat me right down!
Here’s a picture of my new color:
These albums are the strawberry festival and another festival I went to just afterschool on Friday. Technically it was over but you could still go and walk the grounds, which were really pretty so Rosemarie and I did that on my way home!

hi would you mind sharing the salon details (name, location, phone number/email) if you have them. it's very difficult to find a hairdresser in korea who is skilled in western-style highlights. also, please post more pics of your new color if you have time. many thanks...
ReplyDeleteHey, the salon is in Mokpo in Jeollanam-do. It's called Chin Su Hair, they have a Facebook page but I don't have a number for them since I always just walk in. The lady who speaks English is great so if you find yourself in Mokpo I definitely recommend it!
