Pureun Simin Danche 푸른시민단체 successfully organized a multicultural event...and surely we participate annually.

There's of course. ...cultural parade showcasing reach country's traditional attires and cultures.

Eyra dressed in West Sumatran.traditional dress....with her Mom.

There's also a separate section where visitors could directly enjoy and experience each country's cultural distinctiveness.

What a cultural event be without some musical shows as shown by the representative of Korea.

As for the kids...boy...they had their hands tight...they're so occupied with endless arrays of activities.

All together. 

Hmmm...time to savor some local dishes.

At the unique Ukrainian booth.

Freya got to have her passport full of stamps from.all countries participating in the event.

She just got out of a Mongolian traditional house.

Freya...you looked so gorgeously pretty, dear^^

Gosh....the kids with their friends kept on visiting each booth. They did have a marvelous time.

Eyra met her schoolmates at the venue and they were going about the event....

Happily trting out new stuffs....

And.....boy...oh..girls....they did a tremendous job of sticking up together during the whole afternoon.....

And....so did their Moms.^^

Bowling with International Friends (4)

푸른시민연대 -pureun simin yeondae - (a multicultural activities-oriented NGO type) is an organization that unites us in this neighborhood. 

So, a question like "You live in the area?" "Where d'you come from?" "Do you happen to know...?" "So, you learn Korean language, too?" "Where? at Pureun?"

These sorts of questions....lead us to things like bumping into each other or meeting into each other in the neighborhood and ...or..

"having a gathering like this one: let's do some bowling!".

A group photo session after completing the full-routine bowling experience for most of us. Yes, we are foreign students and foreign workers who share common interests, i.e. bowling. ** (a bit exaggeration is okay, right?) 

"Kimchi, everyone"

We loved the fact that we could re-create the middle earth like dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd...(oh no..I was so sleepy when I wrote this entry..and this is what happened.^^)

Thank you, guys.

I did enjoy spending afternoon with you, guys.

So, when we'll bump into each other, again?

Bowling with International Friends (1)

Me and my friends from Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia. 

We live in the same neighborhood. Some of us study and some others work in Korea. 

We have something in common: being members of multicultural neighborhood in Seoul. More precisely: we take pride in taking part in Pureun Multicultural Organization.  

One of today's activities is going to the bowling alley and having fun together.

Well, we can spot and find bowling alleys in most areas in Seoul so..we picked one near the neighborhood.

We are one team and we got to compete with 7 other teams. 

There were 8 teams with each team consisted of international friends.

We loved the fact that we come from different countries, and yet we could be one like this. 

First attempt by our group. Oh, what a great afternoon it was. 

Well spent.

Om Wawan was trying his first string of luck. Yes, most of us are first-timers and amateur  in action. 

But, that did not hinder us from taking this seriously simply we knew that we could win a prize should we be number one. *-* aha!! 

Most of us gazed on the monitor....what the scores were...and how many we missed and how many we led the scores for each team...
