Lotus Lantern Parade
I went to the Lotus Lantern Parade with my friend Nicole on Sunday night. It's part of a huge festival in Seoul to celebrate Buddha's birthday. We got there when it started at 7 PM, and at 9:30, there was no end in sight, but we decided we were tired and headed home. All the hand-held lanterns and latern floats were beautiful, and it was fun to see people all dressed up. Unfortunately my camera doesn't handle zooming, low-light, or fast-action very well. I think it may be time to step up to something that isn't automatic.

We have been following your blog for a short while and just visited Korea ourselves. We were right down the street while you were at the parade. We were having dinner at the Lotte Hotel with familiy. Thanks for the pictures. We never did get to see the floats in action.
btw, one of your posts (about the little boys running behind you in class and laughing) was very helpful in explaining my own Korean born son's fascination and bemusement with other people's backsides (maybe just American backsides). We adopted him when he was 3, so I guess that particular sense of humor was already developed by then:)
Thanks for dropping me a note, Jeanne! I'm glad you've stopped by my blog.
Korean kids definitely have a fascination with butts, and they think jokes about bodily functions are extremely funny. I guess American kids think the same things are funny, but I notice it more here than I did in the U.S.
