4th KPMC Day 4 in Korea

We had day trip on the 4th day of KPMC. We took a short walk from Core Riveria (our hotel) and reached a place where anyone can play with Professional Dan players.

This is a game where PRO Dan players (R), plays with multiple go players at the same time.

Just outside the hall, there are mini games like the one above. ↑

It’s like a see-saw where two people jumps on the side of the plank, with right timing for smooth continuous jumps.

Kids trying on it. Hey, it’s wrong to step on the middle on the plank. ↑

Another mini game where players throw the ring (he’s holding it), into a pole around 2 meters away.

This is the place where we had our lunch during the day trip. ↑

Normal small appetizers / dishes are served, as well as kimchi. But the main food is …

Bibimbap, vegetables and meat are mixed with rice with a raw egg placed on top. Before we eat, we should stir thoroughly, which looks like..

Bibimbap, tasted very good indeed. I missed it. much better than kimchi. lol

Sharen and Elias.

The kid on the right looks cool with his long hair.

Sightseeing.

Children were dressed traditionally and played tug of war. I’m not sure it’s because they know we are coming, or it’s their everyday routine.

She’s cute, and very enthusiastic in winning. Happy girl. ↑

After their game, all of us played the game too with other players. We lost the game. ↑

Macro on the insect and plant. ↑

It’s a nice lens. I was very very close.

 

Saw this spider nearby, I don’t dare to get up close with the sigma, got this with the Canon 55-250mm lens.

He’s said to be the king who took all chinese characters and converted into korean character, hence the korea language. ↑

2 female dressed traditionally waiting for their commercial shot at nearby. They were waiting for passerby to help them get a shot. I approached them and used my camera to snap it as well. Who do you prefer? Korean, Asian and Caucasian.
