Before Seoul, before the end the semester party, was festival. And I think this is probably an important part of Korean culture that you should see. And hear.
First, a few things to explain.
These were taken during Spring Festival at Handong. For one, there are a lot of festivals in Korea. Cherry blossoms, spring, lanterns, etc. etc. Not only are there a lot of festivals, but there's lots of dancing, always choreographed, for songs.
But enough with the dancing. Would you like to hear someone sing?
Some band.
And of course, the guy dressed in all white.
And for the next day, Korean traditional drums!
That's my roommate!
That's about it for festival. There was a fair amount of street food being sold for fund raisers and such, and a not-quite-as-famous K-pop group came to perform. I saw them before the performance but wasn't able to go, so no pictures. I heard everyone was standing on chairs and screaming anyway, so I probably wouldn't have had much to show!
Hmm... let's see what else I've forgotten to write about...
