Hwacheon Ice Festival

Yesterday, Saturday Jan. 19 I went to the Hwacheon Ice Festival with a bunch of other westerners. We all had a good time but it was very cold. The festival too place on this big frozen river, besides walking on the ice people go ice skating, ice fishing with a fishing pole of they could just put on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and hop right in the water and catch a fish with their hands, you could also drive a four wheeler on the ice if you really wanted too. There were also really "cool" ice sculptures and an ice cave/castle thing you could walk though. And like all festivals there was a lot of food.
