Buddha's birthday is on Thursday (no school!), so there were some festivities in Seoul this weekend. I took some pictures of the lantern parade, but they aren't very good because it was getting dark. Anyway, you can get an idea of the lanterns and some of the traditional clothing.
Before the parade I got to make a lotus lantern. By far one of the most tedious things I have ever done, and it took two solid hours. As you can see from the picture at the top, some of the lanterns were awesome. Mine looks ok here, but it really was sort of ugly. Wait a second, that's not even my lantern. I just realized that. That's pretty funny, though, so I'm going to leave the picture.
One last picture, which I think speaks for itself. Except for that man in the corner -- I tried to crop him out, but the picture didn't look good that small.

What beautiful pictures! One of the neighbors near my nanny jobs has a globe hanging like one in the pics; maybe she is a Buddhist?
you're looking pretty healthy, Lizzy. Guesss that the Korean food isn't so bad after all?
