Geumsan Ginseng Festival

Two weekends ago I took a bus to Geumsan, which is about 45 minutes south of Daejeon. The area around Geumsan is where most of the Korean ginseng is grown, so they were having a festival to celebrate its importance. There were hundreds of booths selling ginseng in every imaginable form including deep-fried ginseng.
They had an area set up for the kids where they had this huge inflatable head of a traditional Korean dancer. You can see the elastics coming out of his ears (similar to those used in bungee-jumping). The kids would attach them to their waists, and then see how far they could run.
