happy new year!

cheers to christmas...

Okay, so this video isn't very "festive" you might say... but it was at a Christmas concert/fundraiser for a community in India... they had several different types of dancers, music, singing, it was one of the few holiday-ish things we've been to in Korea. There are some decorations, but Christmas is more like a day to go on a hot date, kind of like Valentine's day.  The biggest holidays here are Chusok (Korean Thanksgiving) during harvest season and the Lunar New Year at the end of January.  Buddha's birthday is also a big holiday in the spring.  The streets are lined with strings of beautiful, colorful, hand-made lanterns.
