                                                                       (Beat It! Enjoy It! Feel It!)

My Chuseok holiday ended with quite a "bang"...almost literally. Several of my Native English Teacher friends and I ventured to the Kyunghee Palace for the 8th Annual International Drum Festival. This is the largest percussion festival in Korea and it certainly lived up to its name.

We saw performances by bands from around the world and the best part is that it was FREE!!

I think I'm in love!!...with the Drum Cats Crazy antics of Jamstick!
