Cheongdo Bull Fighting Festival and Wine Tunnel

A few weeks ago I attended an organized trip to a bullfighting festival about an hour outside of Daegu. now, bullfighting is not something I would typically choose to watch, but I thought, "When am I gonna get another chance to see bullfighting? In Korea, no less?" So I decided to attend the trip.

The first part of the excursion was a trip to the Cheongdo Wine Tunnel. It is exactly what it sounds like, a winery inside a converted train tunnel. The wine that they make there isn't made out of grapes, its made out of persimmon, a fruit that's fairly popular in Daegu. I'm a fan of this fruit, but I don;t think it translated well into wine. Its very sweet and tends to leave you with a dry feeling in your mouth.

After the wine tunnel, we went to the bullfighting stadium. It literally was two bulls fighting against each other. It was certainly an interesting experience.
