Attending the 45th World Archery Championships in Ulsan two weeks ago was a fantastic experience, and I'm definitely glad I woke up early to make the five hour trek out to the east coast. It was my second time visiting the port city and I managed to interact with more people than I had in my previous trip -- chatting with a few of the athletes competing in the championships, encountering a woman from Seoul who was biking around Korea to support children's cancer awareness, and being treated to a deep bow and greeting in Korean after crossing paths with an older woman and her granddaughter in the city center at night. Early on the second day of the championships I came across two competitors from the Islamic Republic of Iran; one was filling out a form while the other waited nearby.

No problem, I lurk around many K-blogs trying to find interesting things and female Iranian archers in Ulsan is not something you see every day.
