2015 Kwangbokdong Christmas Tree Festival, Part 2

 : Yes, the street is all about Christmas... which is not a Korean tradition at all... Yes, I have to say that it's for Koreans and Asian Countries... because I expect more splendid festival for Christmas in other countries....

 We have to find something special and traditional and also very sophisticated...

 Big tree but no cross above the tree. And a demonstration sculpture of the birth...

 More tourists and more visitors comparing with that of Haeundae.... The Kukje Market tries to get the 2nd boom....

Lots of visitors.

Yes... some artists must have participated in...

Wish tree

Very bright... and well lighting... It was very good to shoot a photo....  There are all things, something to eat, to see and to play...

2015 Kwangbokdong Christmas Tree Festival, Part 1

 : There you can enjoy different kinds of lighting works above the street. And also there were lots of visitors....

 Kwangbok means 'recovering light' or 'liberation'. It got the name in the memory of the May 18 when we got independent from Japan. This festival lasts from November 28 to January 3. I also went last year but this year I went alone and could focus on taking pictures.

This is much better ones than those in Haeundae.

The street itself is not different from the typical street of Korea... But the lighting works made this street special.

 : It's time for me to come home. As usual, I don't have much time. Even though I had enough time, I wouldn't travel more there... I would rather spend my time at a PC bang.

 And how about making a festival which make me take part in... attracts more people...there really fun and interesting...

 There was no special decoration at others except the center road and the market street. And coming home, I saw many restaurants claiming they are the original Kukbapzip... which is usual scene you can see in Korea... such as Chungmoo Kimbap in Tongyong... Each says it is the original...

 I don't known any festival famous in the world, very special or unique, fun and interesting in Korea such as color festival in India... water festival in Myanmar...

 But Korea? In Busan, just a Christmas tree festival? 

 For example, there is so called Kamcheon Town in Busan...which is popular among Koreans.. but not to foreigners... which is not that special to them... 

 We have to open our eyes and find our own thing... unique... things. And make it famous in the world.. We can do that... Already temple stay is kind of popular thing because it's the thing which can be enjoyed only in Korea.

2nd Light Festival in Haeundae Rakko Festival, Open Radio Station and the Festival, Part 4

 : The Rink was impressive, quite big... but less people there when I visited... 

 Info. on the festival: Vitalization of Haeundae Commercial Zone Blog

 Not many skaters at the rink are good for customers but bad for the sellers. And it's open 24 hours at the Christmas Eve and the last day of the year. And how many would come there for staking, I suspect... because that day couples or families come to see and take photos... not skating...

 Fee: 12,000 won for adult, 10,000 won for teens, 8,000 won for children, which includes renting a skate shoes and safety helmet... Is it cheap or expensive, I don't know... but somewhat expensive to me.

 Markets are more comfortable than a department store. That day, many people were at the market street full of tourists of Korea and Foreigners... I would rather go to markets than an apartment when I visit a foreign country... Big market? which I can visit also here but the traditional market is the only one or rare one which I can visit....

 Well arranged street, unified neon sign... but various sellers and products which attracts customers there...
