Hello! We just wanted to write a really short blog to show you some pictures of our race day! We ran the Saemangeum International Marathon in Gunsan on Easter Sunday. We only ran the 10K...but that was enough for me! After the race was finished, we were given our souvenir prizes - a 1 kg bag of rice, a box of apple juice and a shot of Soju (the Korean version of vodka). A great experience!
Before the race, at our designated area.
Despite the windy and chilly weather...this man was fully prepared for winning a race. We were really impressed with his ability to extend his legs in such a manner even when wearing such tiny shorts. Wow.
Giving out free soju, plus some entertainment. Quite risque for normal Korean culture...
Just finished!
Here is a picture from the Korean Times of a bottle of Soju. It is made from rice and is VERY cheap. Usually only $1-$2 or 60-70 pence for all you Brits out there... Needless to say, we find it difficult to drink on its own, but it is truly undetectable when mixed with a fruity beverage. There is strict tradition when drinking soju with Koreans, and it must be done in a certain way to show respect. Remind us to show you when we return...
안녕히가세요!!!
