2007 Seoul Fireworks Festival

Since 2007, Seoul has hosted 'Fireworks Festival' around Yeouid0 area that has, among noticeable architect and bridges, 63 building which I previously posted. As I cannot make it to see the beautiful fireworks tomorrow, I took the poster instead. Have a good weekend!

Tin Robot

Walking on Insadong Street with my colleague, I found this tin robot, a mascot of a boiler manufacturing company. What a perfect symbol for the enterprise!

Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign 2007

Estee Lauder, a mega global cosmetic company, has promoted the awareness of breast cancer and this year the highlight of the event, 'Pink Illumination', was held in Seoul City Hall Plaza colouring the city hall's facade with pink lights. What a pinky idea! This event has also been organised in other cities like NYC, Sydney etc.

Hangeulnal

Today is Hangeulnal, which means ''Korean Language Day." Among the things of which I am proud, Korean takes the best part of it to me because the character itself is quite scientific and simple. Furthermore, as far as I know, Korea is the only country that has the special day for its own language so there is an international language conference on this day. What you see on the photo is the very first Korean text which contains King Sejong's declaration about having our own language. I'm sure Korean is the most beautiful language in the world.:)

People Reading, The Happy Faces

Except the compulsory text books I had to read at school, I am always happy when reading. I stopped by a small photo exhibition named "People Reading, The Happy Faces" at Bandi & Lunis this evening and there were portraits of Korean writers and their favourite books underneath. I'm currently reading Alain de Botton's "Status Anxiety," and what are you reading?

Grand Mint Festival ll

This is the second and the last photo from Grand Mint Festival 2007. Yesterday's highlight was 'Tahiti 80' from France, who just had the first visit to Korea, and a lot of fans including me have been waiting for this moment for so long. They were absolutely fantastic and showed a good manner on the stage.

Grand Mint Festival l

Today there was Grand Mint Festival at Olympic Park, a picnic-like music festival. After sunset, a sponsor gave flash sticks to the audience and they made a beautiful scene.
