This past week has found me quite busy. Lots of work at the office earlier in the week kept me away from one of my new goals to write more. I did get to the center of Seoul for a look at the lights. Except for the lights the Hotel Lotte had up, most of the downtown stuff that was up was uneventful though it was festive and the locals were soaking it up like free soju. The lazer show at Gwanghwamun was weak and could hardly be seen. More information about the light show can be found here. Why did they even try? It was weak compaired to other lazer shows I have seen. The whole show there; ice rink, lights, booths, sound felt thrown together by a high school team of planners. I except a bit more from the Hub. That said, the people were using the new spaces provided to enjoy themselves. And for that, all it takes is a crowd, a camera and a backdrop for taking pictures. Dear god, everybody had a camera.
In other news, what is with the black stockings for fashion this winter? I should check the stores and see if that is the only color sold. I can complain though, they look great, and for that I'm thankful.
