Today has been a fantastic day so far and it isn't even over yet!
One of the guys here was lucky enough to fall in love with a beautiful Korean girl and they had their wedding today - Old Korean style!
I can't actually explain what happened as I didn't understand a lot of it but Martin and his partner had to dress up in these brightly coloured costumes. He was carried by a bunch of guys on this strange chair and she was placed in a box and carried behind him. They walked around the sports park being carried until they got to the 'alter' thing.
Martin came up first, he did some bowing, listened to some guy speak over a microphone. Then his bride to be walked up and she had to hold this cover in front of her face. Then did this crazy routine of sitting and standing and bowing and drinking some liquid which could have been water or even soup - I have no idea.
This lasted around 30 minutes and then everybody just took photo's of the couple on their own, then with the family and then with all the friends. The weather was scorching hot and I even managed to get a little tan :)
We all went for food afterwards and I had this melt in your mouth steak in a hot soup with onion - it was beautiful and definitely the best meal I've had since I've been here. In a couple of hours we're all going out for drinks in celebration :)
