On our first afternoon in Tongyeong we went for a stroll around the Dongpirang. Dongpirang is "Mural Village'. It was historically a very poor and run down part of Tongyeong until about 10 years ago when the City Hall invited artists from all over Korea to come and paint the walls of the suburb. It became such a hit that they now every year paint the whole suburb white again and invite the artists to come and repaint with new designs. It is now a real cultural event in Tongyeong and one of the most well known aspects of the city. After Dongpirang, students had some free time to explore the city and then meet back for 'chicken-in-a-pot', a perennial favourite on the Korean culinary scene.
