R-16 Incheon, South Korea (Part 2)

The venue of R-16 was inside a park where the Incheon Global Fair and Festival was taking place, which included many different types of exhibits showcasing world cultures as well as creative and technological wonders. These are just some of the stuff on display in open air.

 

The first day was a bit slow to start with, there was some showcase from each crew for the sponsors of the event from the local council, which lagged on a bit considering most of the crews still had various degrees of jetlag from flying in from as far as Finland and California.  First event on the list was the solo bboy battle.

 

Judges having a moment- Ken Swift, Storm, and Jr Boogaloo

Throughout the whole event, there were some pretty impressive showcases from different parts of the world. First of all was the famous Iguchi family from Osaka, comprising of daddy Iguchi, his three sons, and his amazing nine-year old daughter Moka. She is the one jumping through the loop, who can do windmills. And air-flares. And headspins. Don't believe me? Check out this advert the family made for Nintendo DS. Look out for daddy Iguchi on the far right of the screen too.

 After what seemed like an age of a first day, it was back to the hotel, where some of the crews decided to lay out wherever they can to catch some of that good ol' rest. Bless.
