Daecheon is not the 8th wonder of the world, although the local authority is trying to convince people that it should be somewhere in near the top.

The Daecheon Mud Festival is a cunning plan by the local tourism board to attract visitors to their otherwise 'okay' beach and area - they have a lot of Mud just offshore which is apparently wonderful for the skin.

See their promotional website here.

Either Tina has teeny hands or I have a huge ass. The jury is still out on that one.
