Incheon Global Fair and Festival!!

From August 5th – October 25th, Incheon hosted the Incheon Global Fair and Festival. Basically, it was just a giant festival with exhibits set up from different parts of the world and loads of companies from Korea, plus many famous Korean stars performed at the fair as well. It took me until the second last weekend of the Global Fair and Festival to make an appearance (I teach in the area where it was hosted), but I finally did. Lindsay and I headed there the day after I went to Everland with Holly and her parents. We had no idea just how big the festival was and just how busy it was going to be. I even bumped into a few of my students.

We had to be given hand sanitizer and a spray down upon entering the fair because of Koreans fear of catching Swine flu. Once we past through that phase we started our adventure through the global fair of business and some awesomeness. Again, instead of typing every little detail, which will just bore you, here are some pictures and brief snippets about what the two of us got up to. Enjoy!

Welcome to Hollywood Lindsay!

I love New York, but I hate the Yankees.

Lindsay and I decided to go to Hawaii while we were there.

This African man was from Rwanda, one of the countries I hope to visit.

I loved this handmade African wood craft.

Me and the builder LEGO man!! We managed to see a parade.

This was the African float in the parade.

This was the float from Brazil and boy was it risque.

We then waited in line for over an hour to see some 3-D show about the future of Song-do city. The glasses were the best part.

There was an awesome garden there with flowers galore. I really enjoyed this flower display the most. The hand are reaching for the world.

We ventured over to the international area where I saw this amazing graffiti of 2PAC on the bboy stage.

The Trojan horse made it's way to the festival as well.

We also managed to find the beer tent, but neither of us were drinking that weekend, but if we had been we would have been there for a while. Instead, we just ventured in to check it out and guess who we should bump into, but Big Bang. I LOVE T.O.P.

Then we checked out the African exhibit and this amazing piece of art was in the entrance. Some of my favorite pieces of art come from African culture.

We also enjoyed an African tribal dance that had the Korea's in awe.

As we were leaving the international exhibit we checked out a bboy show. They were amateur.

The line for the robot exhibit didn't take as long to get into as the 3-D show and that's a good thing because we were disappointed.

This robot giraffe welcomed us to the exhibit.

When we finished at the robot exhibit we headed out because we had spent over 4 hours at the festival and we had enough of the rude Korean people and the crowds.

On the way out we walked past some more flower displays. This elephant one was my favorite.

When we finished at the festival we had dinner with Holly and her parents because it was their last night in Korea.
