Seoul - Summer of 2008 - Part 3

Besides the Seoul Friendship fair, it was also around the time of Spring celebration, so managed to attend some of the Korean celebration around City Hall too.

No idea what is this.. but I thought worth a shoot.

This is the Korean traditional dance with some background music that sounded a little serious.

This is, of course the not so boring part of the night.

Lead guitarist in action

Yeah, with lots of pyro too...

and this is her concert... no idea who is she, but it was a Korean rock concert.


again, walk towards the man-made river and check out what new additions they have this time...

Seoul - Summer of 2008 - Part 1

During one of my visits to Seoul, I've stayed around City area to get a better view and experience Seoul. It also coincide with their annual event of Seoul Friendship Fair 2008. So as usual, I'm more than happy to bring along my camera and snap away.


This is one of the streets in downtown closed off for the event use.

Some Korean flowers

Took a picture of this while I was taking a break in the coffee hse. Ordered a mocha for myself and it is really something. In the fine print, it says "World's best coffee", from Angel-in-us Coffee. Should give it a try if you haven't already the next time u sees one.

One of the performers of the event during rehersal.

This guy is not a performer though.

Think he is part of the event as I saw him on both days.

Another Chinese performer.

Some Korean student taking self portrait. I am always curious how people takes their own pictures using mobile, so I had to capture this shot to remind me of how it is done.
