Mountain Trout Festival
The temptation was quite strong when I saw fishing pictures at
Raphael's blog. Fishing on ice like Pingu. Actually it was my son's earnest wish for a couple of years, too.
So we decided to go Hwacheon for fishing, and to enjoy Mountain Trouts Festival.
We could arrive at the place at about 9:30 am after two and half hours drive, but there're already lots of people fishing on the river(surprisingly it looked artificially being iced and looked very safe). We found spots and waiting for fish on the crowded river.

But obviously there're more people than fish. From time to time, some of them yelled cafter catching beautiful trouts, but we gave up our efforts after two or three hours without any fish. Kids were dissappointed. Fortunately, however, there're many other funs like sled, ice tunnels, ice house and so on.
(We needed real fish, but this fish lamp was also nice)
Sledding was another fun we could enjoy for hours. Real pleasures. We spent most of afternoon for this sled-riding on the river, the side of the fishing spot. There were big family-size sleds on which three or four kids could ride at the same time, but we rented three small traditional sleds due to the more than one hour waiting time for the big one. The small sleds were also nice anyway.
(My nephew and younger brother went together. 3 adults and 3 kids. Playing with kids is a hard-labor sometimes)
(My little girl was getting asleep while sled riding..)
We left the place in the late afternoon, and could be back home after 4 hours driving due to the weekend traffic jam.. I think that's a sort of payments or costs for pleasure..

It's very interesting for me what she dreamed on the sled while sleeping.
Today is pretty busy. I could sit down on my chair at 5:30 pm. I had so many meetings. I started this blog at that time. So far I couldn't push "POST" button because I had lots of calls.
This is my pleasure.
I recalled your comment that everything that we can meet when we are alive is happiness.
Stone: Yes, very crowded. People were rushing into the ice continuously.. Hard to catch fish.. But still it was very fun for everybody..
Raphael: Thanks for your call from Taiwan. It's very helpful.
Yup. Happiness is not far away over clouds.. Mind matters...
