Colorful Daegu

Daegu’s logo is “Colorful Daegu” and with the various festivities offered here, I would certainly agree! Kyle and I decided to check out the International Body Painting Festival, which I have to admit- I had no clue what that meant! We arrived just in time for the “Fantasy painting” section of the show. Here are some photos which speak much louder than words for what we saw! 
































We then walked around to discover the whole grassy area filled with tents of artists painting the almost completely naked bodies of both men and women. More pictures to explain! 









The following weekend was the first weekend of the IAAF World Championships in Athletics. We had previously gone by the booth to try and get tickets to see Usain Bolt but it had been sold out. We were hanging out downtown with our boss, Cindy, when we decided to pop by the booth and to our surprise they now had seats for that evening in which Bolt would be running in the qualifier and final of the men’s 100 meter. We ran to the stadium and found seats excited to enjoy the night and see the fastest man smoke the rest! 

We saw Bolt beat the rest for the qualifiers, and then... get disqualified for the final race. 
The evening was still fun though, Korean crowds are the most fun to be apart of as most of the crowd usually has some sort of fan, sun visor, and appreciates the wave over and over and over again!
