WDJF

One experience from this year that I will never forget is the World DJ Festival. Their website described it as “oriental electronic paradise” and it definitely lived up to its name.

My friend Jess and I got a bus at 5pm to Yang Pyeong where the festival was. After an hour and a half bus ride and a 20 minute wait to get in, we were ready to party (having pre-drank on the bus of course).

Soju and Vitamin water… yin and yang

After figuring out how to buy beer (no cash, only T-money cards… so convenient!), we were going to get some food but a roar from the crowd pulled us over to to one of the smaller stages.

shortly after arriving… our shoes were still their original colours.

For the next 9 hours we proceeded to be amazed by the Korean’s dancing skills, gawk at the obnoxious foreigners and of course dance our butts off. The music and energy was so uplifting we couldn’t help making “I LOVE LIFE” our mantra for the evening.

loving life!!

The djs playing at the festival weren’t huge names, but there were definitely some very talented fellows (didn’t see any lady djs). Our favourites included: Jin by Jin, Timo Garcia and Aly & Fila. There were also several that we didn’t hear that were a part of the silent disco. I wish I could upload videos onto this blog because it is really funny to watch people rocking out to music they hear on their headphones.

Here are a few more highlights of the night:

The line up for hot water to make ramen noodles… choice snack.

Meeting up with Jess and Elisabeth for a mere 30 mins before being sucked into the crowd

The fashion… of course killer heels are appropriate for an all night dancing festival

The dancing…. oh the dancing… how I wish I knew how to shuffle.

5 to 5… Such a fun all-nighter!!
