How many people love dirt! No, this article is not about paparazzi journalists, black PR people, or little children. We will tell about others dirty - Koreans from the city Boryeong and tourists who splash in a viscous gray substance every year. And no one accuses them of uncleanliness: this is Mud Festival after all!
The first curse that chimpanzees came up with on their own (when they were taught to speak sign language) was "dirty". Meanwhile, dirt is very useful, it can even be treated (it is a pity that not for all diseases). Not surprisingly, the filthy people from many countries around the world love to host related festivals. So, we have already written about the Brazilian festival of mud baths Bloco de Lama.
The same in essence, but a larger-scale event is taking place in the South Korean city of Boryeong, 200 kilometers from Seoul. Millions of locals and tourists alike come to the festival every year to bathe in the local mud. Yes, exactly millions! What attracts such hordes of filthy? The point is that the Porenskaya mud is unusual. It is rich in trace elements and nutrients to such an extent that it is widely used in cosmetics industry … The manufacturers of these cosmetics spare no money to promote the festival - as always, there is no fun without advertising.
Visitors to Boryeong 2.2 million dirty (in 2007) - a real triumph, a complete victory over cleanliness. Indeed, during the festival, the "dirty" poured over each other and themselves bathe in the healing substance so that even drops and clods of dirt fly in the air. The earth in Boryeong is believed to rejuvenate the skin. To rejuvenate properly, guests of the festival come up with special dirty games. Traditionally, the most popular is women's mud wrestling. There is also a special interactive: mass crush in the "swamp" with spontaneous falls.
The Dirt Festival lasts two weeks in July, and in 2011 it is held for the 14th time. In the heat, nature itself makes Koreans and tourists diligently throw mud and grunt to improve their health.
