The 2nd Daegu International Musical Festival begins next week and they have a very snazzy English section to their site. Because of this, I’ll let the site speak for itself, instead of going on about it, myself.

The 2008 Muju Firefly Festival starts this weekend in picturesque Muju, a little over an hour west of Daegu. Should be a great weekend to see that part of country.
