Huggies baby wipes and cheetah onesies. : Dj World fest

Looking out the window  ,  trees rushing by , the sun light falling on the rice fields  and colourful lanterns everywhere. Inside the train , people sitting on the floor , people   fighting over seats and babies screaming . This is my five hour journey to Seoul . The sound of daft punk blearing through my head phones is getting me in the zone for the very crazy weekend that lies ahead. What better way to celebrate buddhas birthday than under the stars stomping it up to  heart pulsating beats at one of the top electronic music festivals in the world .

 One would assume that  since this is my first 3 day music  festival in Korea I would be well equipped and prepared for what lies ahead.   I am sleepingbag -less , pillow-less  and for all I know I could be possibly homeless at the festival as well .  However  the items  that I have packed I feel will serve me well in any dramatic situation I may find myself in. 

Recently being  informed that there will be no showers or washing facilities I tried to think of the best possible alternative to keep the vital body parts clean.  What do you think came to mind ? Huggies wet wipes for new borns of course .  You can never go wrong with huggies . We were also  informed that it will be a no cash  zone with no card facilities , frek talk about going back to the stones age. Instead we are required to load our  “ cashbee” cards  ( bus cards) with ridiculous amounts of won which will allow us to buy soju and line our stomachs with carbs . With a some total of 150 000 won now loaded onto my bus card and a bank account being close to empty that card better work at the festival. Lastly we have been informed to be prepared for cold weather in the evenings . Now coming up with a solution for this one was a bit more tricky .  As many of you know I have a tendency to wonder off and paired with my terrible sense of direction  it makes for a  fail of a combination . So it took me some time to work my way around this one . How do I keep warm at a music concert and still stand out enough for people to find me ? And then I was reminded of Cape Town and my tiger onesie. Yes!  Where does one get a onesie in Korea at the last minute ?  Gmarket of course !  The biggest online shopping store in Korea . You can literally buy everything on Gmarket . You could probably even order yourself a cute Korean baby. Now I figured that if i’m going to be clowning around in a onesie I may as well do it properly and show Korea my SAFFA heritage. So I settled on the cheetah. Standing out at the festival will not be an issue and I assume there won’t be many cheetahs stomping around.

So although I may not have packed  the basics necessities that one would usually take to a festival I think my huggies bum wipes , 150 000 worth of won  on my bus card and my cheetah onesie will do just fine. 

Here’s to a Buddha , a weekend  of stomping it up under the stars and embracing life .
