The Boryeong Mud Festival 2008
  
       
  And its everywhere! What better to enjoy a weekend full of bikini’s, wrestling, rather bikini wrestling, mud races, mud slides, concerts and finally a healthy and theraputic substance that you can rub on the whole day.

The Boryeong Mud Festival takes place every summer in Boryeong, South
 

 
 
Korea. Not your typical mud slosh and party. The mud is actually dug up near Boryeong and trucked to the Daecheon beach area. The mud is considered rich in minerals and used to manufacture cosmetics. The first Mud Festival was organised in 1998 and, by 2006 attracted 1.5 million visitors. In 2008 the festival took place between 12-20 July.
