A Glimpse of Daejeon Expo Park

no one but me ^.^

Despite the fact that we could not explore the park, I did not feel sad (hehehe...actually I was). To compensate of what I might've experienced, had we been inside the park's theme rides....I deliberately took a walk further up and took two snapshots at the park. I think it was SK Imax Theater. Well, it would've been great,, if we'd had a chance to see inside. But, hey...there will be time to visit Daejon again, then.
As for the moment, taking a picture with the theater being the background would be enough. ^.^

Sept. 23, 2011  Daejon Expo Park

Phantom of the Opera or Rabbit of the Opera?

After I finished making my craft, I took time to look around other groups only to find out that they had pretty intriguing crafts they made. I bumped into Roy who seemed to keenly polished his black and white mask. As I asked him what that was...he thought it was supposed to be some kind of yin and yang symbolized in the mask. It turned out to be not what he had expected in the first place.
But, I thought it was an excellent job.
It was simple, plainly made into one of a kind......I bet no one that day made the one this simple yet perfectly tuned into a rabbit mask that he made. I dubbed it as "The Rabbit of the Opera"
Since it was so captivating (at least to my eyes), I wanted to put it on and took a picture of myself wearing it.
Roy turned out to like it the way it looked. The idea of adding another color to the mask was then.....gotten rid of. Great decision. Otherwise, it would not have looked this attractive.

Daejeon Expo Park (part 2)

Here is what I made inside the Park.

A supposed-to-be Korean traditional mask.
But, it turned out to be a mask of its own.....well, the color was intentionally replicating the one of Korean mask, though. Although it was not what I meant to be.
After completing the first one, and since I still had some remaining play dough, I might as well use it to make another one...and tatatatatata.......this is how it looks. Oh, I also made a small version of me:) see it in the picture?
Too bad, the last one cannot go into the plastic since I made in minutes after the first two masks were inserted into the covering.

Orientation for 2011 KGSP Scholarship Student (part 1)

Time: Thursday - Friday, 22 -23 September, 2011
Venue: KT Human Resources Development Center, Daejon
Participant: 279 students from around the world
Programs: Introduction of GKS scholarship; Lecture on Korean Education, History, Culture, Politics, Economy; Talent Show from representatives of the students; field trip to Expo Park and National Science Museum in Daejon.

So, I guess I would start my story with the fact that we had to wake up early in the morning on Thursday night because we got to leave for Daejon at 07.30 a.m. After an early wee hour of preparing stuffs, I made it to the bus. Off we went to Daejon at around 07.45. Departed from the tennis court of the campus, 18 of us were on board the bus with Ms. Kang and Mr. Kim from International Office accompanying us. Out of 18 students on board, most of us did not know what to expect from the orientation; what we might get and o and eat there. So, all of the expectations were high.

It took us about 3,5 hour, an hour longer than it should due to the traffic jam on highways. With about 10 minute break at the side-road rest area, we managed to refresh ourselves before continuing the journey.
Nothing pretty much interesting things to see along the way until we were approaching Daejon and had the first glimpse of how wide the Daejon lanes were; how beautiful the landscapes were; how neat the trees along the sidewalks were. It was a different place from that of Seoul. A kind of relaxing feeling set in.
I got a glimpse of an eye-opening 'scene' or new art or contemporary art displayed at unlikely place: the air over a park. I would talk about it later.
It took me a while to realize what I saw until the bus passed that 'thing' by. Since then, I got a determination that I had to go back there and take the picture of the whole 'commotion' I saw on the way to the venue.

It was my first impression of Daejon with high expectation.
