The Lotus Lantern Festival

In Korea's biggest cultural festival, Seoul blows out the candles on Buddha's birthday cake. The parade runs roughly from Dongdaemun to the Jogyesa Temple, near the Jonggak subway station. It's a hell of a party, and it was only by blind luck that I was here for it.

  2. Ha. Good reference. A bit from Prokoviev's Violin Concerto No. 1. I'm sure I'm breaking some law.
