If you are living in Seoul or Gyeonggi then it is a sincere request to enjoy your early fall and particuarly this coming weekend in Jinju City or any time between October 1 - October 12. City of Jinju is organizing many festivals there. Jinju is also famous for its silk products. Korea's best and finest silk comes from Jinju and on top, it is indeed an intersting place. I travelled to Jinju in 2005 and had my silk shopping there. I bought scarfs for friends and family and they were much loved.
This weekend Jinju will also hold Jinju Namgang Yudeung Festival and its opening ceremonies will be the icing on the cake. My favourite is the lighting of the lantern for the dead's spirit. Jinju Lantern Festival has its roots in turbulent times when the Japanese invaded Korea in 1592 - in history you might have heard of the Imjin War then this is the venue.
