We went to the 3 K walk for Peace, and then stuck around for a bit in the area. We walked near the river and then got a bite to eat and then back to the hotel to change and get over to kintex. The ride was so long! But we got our registration stuff and met up with Danielle, then found the bus and got to the welcome ceremony. That was insane. It started off very lovely, with a Korean woman dancing in the traditional dress. Then an very impressive tae kwon do exhibition. Breaking boards, back flips, it was awesome. The drum exhibit was wicked! Except for a very hot mic on the whistle trumpet thing. It was piercing! Then the KPop Portion of the evening got underway. Good lord. Some people described it as "soft core," and "late night." I thought it was just NUTZ. Some human Bratz dolls came out and shook their jean shorts, looked like baby hookers, and repeated the same uninterested dance moves about a thousand times. Then they tried to make us believe some imposter was PSY! I wasn't fooled! And then Korea's finest Diva sang some ballads and we snuck outta there. The buses home were a shit show, but at least we got home eventually! Looking back it's pretty hilarious, but mildly irritating. In the moment though, I wanted to punch those Bratz dolls. The feminist movement regressed about 100 years.
