The Lotus Lantern Festival and Parade

The Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism organizes an amazing street festival on the street in front of Jogyesa, an amazing temple in Jongno-gu. Over 1000 people put together the festival and roughly 300,000 people attend each year. Following the festival, the streets of Jongno light up with an amazing display of lanterns. It's a sight not to be missed.

@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!!

[qiranger]

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

[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.
