#Pray for everyone affected by Jindo ferry incident.
--> so, I just hope that everyone, my friends..anyone who happen to read this blog...please try to understand that IF I start posting up my pictures and all of the activities I've been doing for the past weeks (blogging that I've been doing on a daily basis for the past 4 years..), please..believe me that it DOES NOT mean that I am insensitive of what IS happening. I AM and I do. My heart goes out for them.

It's the same day (March 30), 2014
The ceremony of Joseon's guards inauguration had just started and I was more than ready to enjoy the whole procession.
Water-colored version of the guards in charge.
When the King arrived, all guards knelt showing respect.--right?
hmm, not all of them--as it turned out. or I may have missed something!
As the inauguration came to a complete order, folk-dance and musical performance were sequentially in display.
A quintessentially Korean percussion show: checked!
Apsara-like percussion performers: checked!
a panoramic view of the whole procession.
I think this was the dance-sight-sound of the day!
What I found interesting was the fact that even a cameraman was clad in Joseon's traditional attire, too. I assume it was meant to make it NOT so conspicuously visible to spectators that a modern symbol like camera DID exist in the midst of traditional ceremony like this. Hmm, pretty understandable:)
The newly appointed guards were ready to leave the ground.
now...let's go to another venue where I'd experience something else.
This is what I like about Seoul: right in front of this palace...lies high-rises that dotted the spectrum of two different worlds, yet uniquely complementary.
