South Africa World Cup 2012: Sporting Holidays – 9

September 18, 2008 · 13 Comments

If you are anything like me and love Sport and Travel then why not combine the two? A few years my wife and I went to Euro 2004 for the European Football Championships (soccer for any American readers) and although my wife had no interest in the football, she jumped at the chance of going to Lisbon, Portugal.

If you can organise for friends also to go, then any people who want to travel to the interesting locations where sport may take you, do not necessarily have to go to the sport.

It depends a lot of course on what country you are from and what sports you are more likely to be interested in but events such as the football World Cup (there is only one as American Football is only played in the States), the Olympics and sports such as cricket make for great holidays abroad.

The 2010 World Cup in South Africa with roughly 200 countries already participating in qualifification is an event I recommend you go to if you get the chance. There are some security fears but during the WC policing is likely to be at its highest,so what better time to experience a bit of South Africa? For tickets for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa it is best to keep an eye on the official site.

A weekend at a Mud Festival – 6

June 2, 2008 · 4 Comments

Boryeong Mud Festival in South Korea is the location of the annual Mud Festival and it is one of the more unusual weekends I have spent travelling, yet one I recommend. Daecheon beach area in Boryeong in South Korea is the location for this event and the mud in thsi area is said to have a healing effect.

This festival has been going on since 1998 and now it is an annual event which attracts as many foreigners aBoryeong Mud Festival in South Koreas it does Koreans. Many of the foreigners you will see are normally Western teachers and people who decide to join in can enjoy a bit of mud wrestling, shopping for mud products (including mnud soap), mud massages, walking in the shallow sea waters or eating in one of the local restaurants.

This is a fairly small event on a world wide schedule but one worth popping down to visitif you are already in South Korea on business, workign or travelling in. Photos of the Boryeong Mud Festival can be seen online. You can also learn more about Festivals in South Korea here.
