Yes, I went down to Preston Park to wander around as it is one of the most popular festivals in Brighton. I got there with my friends and took photos of them. It was absolutely unique cause in Korea we aren't that much open-minded to those people, which seems kind of clash of culture. At first I felt a bit scared looking at what they wear or look like as they didn't seem normal people. Anyway it's one of their cultures and I don't want to judge anything about it. I just enjoyed it and it was a good experience to see that.

Here this is one of Korean festivals called Haeundae Sand Festival.
Begun in 2005 as part of an APEC summit activity, this sand festival in Busan is a collection of exhibits and activities featuring the beach’s powdery white wonder. Every June, Replicas of famous monuments throughout the world are formed with astounding detail by international teams for a chance to win prizes, while people are buried in hot sand as part of a health regimen. Afterwards, you can wait for the nighttime fireworks display and performances, or just enjoy the rest of the 1.55-kilometer beach, regarded as one of Korea’s eight scenic wonders.

    We have a similar festival in Devon or Cornwall, not sure. I never think of sandy beaches when I think of Korea. Sounds a nice festival. Can you go inside any of the sand sculptures?
