As always, great video Steve!

@FRUNTCASTER OMG-- FRUNT!!!! Thanks my friend! How are you doing?

[FRUNTCASTER]

@qiranger All's well here brother. . . I've been keeping up with you and Jo (sp?) through your great videos. Looks like you're having a blast there in Korea.

I was kind'a eyeballing a video camera today. . . I've been thinking about getting one. Take care Mang, and keep making videos -- I watch them all as they pop up in my subscriptions.

[qiranger]

@FRUNTCASTER We're doing very well! We love it here so much. What kind of camera were you looking at?

[FRUNTCASTER]

@qiranger Not sure what kinda of camera's they were. . . They were at a pawn shop, and I only gave them a quick glance. I love pawn shopping, auctions and yard sales!!

Great stuff!

[daewooparts]

[saiyouken]

awesome video.

[qiranger]

@saiyouken Thanks!

[reynoldsair]

Dude, this is one of the best amateur vids I've ever seen. The quality in the filming and editing was superb. You're going to start giving the Travel Channel a run for their money here soon.

[qiranger]

@reynoldsair Thank you! I'm really enjoying the process. It's one of the things I'm really trying to improve on this year. Any pointers would be appreciated!

[ABombs1]

You didn't have to sign up for the lantern making? We were going to but they said we had to have registered =\

And ahh, your video really gets the day across much better than mine, as expected from you. I think I'm gonna work on editing. That was really great.

Looks like you were across the street and down 50 yards from me!

[qiranger]

@ABombs1 You had to sign up for the main lantern making area (at the far end near 안국역, but there were several other booths that allowed you to make lanterns.

I'm glad you enjoyed the editing. It was fun to piece together.

Yeah, I noticed that we were in the same area.... one of these days we'll meet up. Maybe a joint August adventure to Olympic Park?

[ABombs1]

@qiranger That sounds like a plan and a half!

[TheAnttila]

I love those parades and happenings in Korea!

[qiranger]

@TheAnttila Me too!

[2eltran]

Wow....beautiful!

[qiranger]

@2eltran Thanks! It was a great night!

[TravMcTavish]

One Hundred and FIRST! Ha ha Sorry but I had to say that. I love how you are always doing something. I'd love to check out the Lantern Festival, looks amazing.

[qiranger]

@TravMcTavish LOL - Loved it! The festival was a blast!

[DrBigChub]

Very cool. I can only imagine what it would be like to be there in person.

[qiranger]

@DrBigChub It was a blast. I'll have to try and out do myself next year!

[youvebeennumined]

That was absolutely amazing and beautiful. You are really starting to peak my interest in coming to Korea for a couple weeks next summer. I definitely concur with Truedantalion, you truly should have your own show lol.

[qiranger]

@youvebeennumined I'm glad you enjoyed it! It was a lot of fun to put together!

[kimbyoungguk]

very good ^^

[qiranger]

@kimbyoungguk Thank you so much!!!!

[Truedantalion]

Excellent video! I said it before, and I'll say it again: It's time that some TV network discovers and hires you to make travel and documentary features!

[qiranger]

@Truedantalion Thank you my friend! I really appreciate your support and comments!

[ever4one]

Amazing Steve!!!!! ^^

[qiranger]

@ever4one Thanks Hyunwoo! It was a wonderful experience!

[daewooparts]

[DOTQWERTY218]

Simply awesome. Your videos make me want to actually make some myself, I might just do that when I'm in Korea again. :)

[qiranger]

@DOTQWERTY218 Very cool. When are you returning??? I'm very happy that you enjoyed this one!

[DOTQWERTY218]

@qiranger I'm returning on June 7th. I'm participating in a exchange student program at my University for one year in Korea. School does not start until the Fall but I'm coming early. Last time I was in Korea was in 2008. lol I stay mostly the Bucheon area near Seoul but my school will be in Asan. You're staying somewhere in Seoul, right?

[qiranger]

@DOTQWERTY218 Yeah, near Suwon... I also return on June 7th from Vaycay!

[DOTQWERTY218]

@qiranger cool, maybe we can hangout sometime. Enjoy the vaycay! (oddly I never heard this word or slang before, I assumed it is vacation. lol)

[jhk2h]

that lotus looks nice! how do you keep track of all the festivals? seems like you get around a lot!!

[qiranger]

@jhk2h Between Jo and I, we try to really see what's going on in Korea and take advantage of everything!
