Hi Seoul Festival 2013 (part 6)

Finally a picture of myself.

Thank, Seonhee, for taking my picture. 

I feel like I am a tourist. Well, I am a tourist. 

oops..I posted it already.

but..that's okay..this would take me a whole day to cover the whole program. 

with varieties of shows to see and watch..

I couldn't decide...which one to see..

Wait...some intermezzos

Seonhee...what are you doing there?

She seemed to be thinking about something.

I was actually coming along to the Festival with her. But she was just busy taking phone business calls that she couldn't enjoy the whole festival.

I take a snapshot of the day. 

There goes my first intermezzo. 

Second: I didn't know who the man was, but he looked like he was a famous figure.

I could tell from the way people were like...greeting him and asking him for a picture^^ hmm (there goes my second intermezzo) 

I was directing my camera towards the Gyeongbukkung area...and all I could see was the 3rd intermezzo of the day.

(Hi Seoul Festival recollection).

Hi Seoul Festival 2013 (part 5)

I love this picture....and the picture below.

They were like overlooking the city.....or walking hmm..hovering...or levitating ..... 

levitating .....and reaching for the sky. 

couldn't get enough of this.

I wonder what it might feel to be strapped on a metal on our back and then got to be tight up on a pole like that.

gosh..that hurt. but, had it been painful, they wouldn't have done it in the first place, RIGHT?

Hi Seoul Festival 2013 (part 4)

I am still at the Zero-G Threesome! 

I kept on asking myself as to why they were wearing sunglasses. 

To 'help them hide' and to hinder them from being distracted by the cheering crowds:-) 

They're like this for about 30 minutes. 

'Ouch, my back....." 

This is the brochure of Hi Seoul FEstivaL.

Let's play on the streets.

This is a really cool way to make a presentation of what Seoul really is--in term of cultural performances. 

I mean..there are lots of activities to see and go through. 

The whole map of Hi Seoul Festival venues.

scattered around Gwanghwamun, Jongno, City Hall, Cheonggyecheon...

Hi Seoul Festival 2013 (Zero-G Man)- (part 3)

Hmmm what's underneath the cloak?

and a scaffolding underneath? 

the man appeared. The mystery inside cloak was about to be revealed... 

Da..da.....another zero-gravity man..wait...men..no...one woman and two men.

so..it's a threesome.

Zero-Gravity Threesome:-) 

hmm..let's see how it would end up.... 

wow...impressive.

the supporting metal that uphold and sustain their weight must have been so strong to do so. 

but..it really was an impressive act to 'attract' the crowd's attention.

what a great way to put on a show.

Hi Seoul Festival 2013 (Zero-G Man) - (part 3)

One of the attractions @ the festival. In fact, I was so overwhelmed by the 'amount' (not number!!!) of shows being shown for us. 

But, one thing for sure..this is something that quite caught my attention. 

yep, a Zero Gravity Man. 

He's hovering right next to King Sejong.^^ 

and King Sejong got to be temporarily neglected.^^

the crowd cheered on the zero-gravity man, of course. 

What a stunt.!!! 

This man, too, is like hovering above the ground. 

I can't stand the sunglasses he's wearing, though.

He just did not want to stare at people, I think.;-D) 

Blue sky in the perfect autumn afternoon.

right in the middle of Seoul.

What a perfect way to spend an afternoon. 

See? King Sejong was like.."Citizens, why are you looking at this you-know-there-must-be-some-tricks-on-this-zero-gravity-man-right?":_) 

But, that's what really happened. People were enticed by the sheer spectacle. 

Just next to it, there is a clown/pantomime show...mingled with an in-between magic trick show.

the crowd? pleased.!!~,~

Hi Seoul Festival 2013 (part 1)

Gwanghwamun Square...at about 5 pm....not many people? Well...we just need to know where to look!!!^^ 

The crowds were gathering in the center of the square where performance after performance were lining up to please the crowd during the 2013 Hi Seoul Festival. 

and..what's the commotion? 

It's a Zero-G man!!!
