The 2nd Annual World Taekwondo Culture Expo is set for July 4-11, 2008 in Jeollabuk-do South Korea, the "city of taste and style".

This Expo is an international festival to publicize the Muju Taekwondo Park which touts itself as the center of Taekwondo. The Expo creators have a goal to strengthen the reputation of Taekwondo internationally and foster a world family of taekwondoists. This trip is sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the WTF and Kukkiwon and the Korean National Tourism Organization (KTO).

The World Taekwondo Culture Expo will be an exciting and stimulating festival of brethren from around the world who share a passion for martial arts and specifically the Korean martial art of tae kwon do.

I am looking forward to my first trip to Asia with many friends and teachers. While I'm away, I plan to blog from abroad and post photos to share my travels with my family and those families of my friends so they can all keep up with us.
Feel free to enjoy South Korea vicariously as well through this blog, July 4th - 11th.

Hope to see you in Korea.
