2009 12 06 Sankta Lucia in Seoul (S. Korea)

Two of my Daughters in their 1st Sankta Lucia celebration (3rd set of gilrs from the front...the ones who did not want to stand next to each other :-) ). It is amazing how many people came to this event. This holiday is very important in Scandinavia. Many of the people who came were Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, and I think even a few Danes. There were also some Korean University students who are taking a Swedish studies course (Which I found fascinating to discover was taught at a Korean University). Some of those Korean students bravely sang in the procession (and did a fantastic job). SWEA did a good job in putting this together. Happy Holidays & God Jul!

I enjoy your videos. My son is in the military stationed in Seoul. Your videos give me a chance to see a little of what he sees. Thank You

You're welcome! I am not sure he would have been at this event, but certainly he has seen many of the other places I have filmed. I took some video today of the snow falling on Yongsan, I will post it in a few minutes.

Well, the video of the snow was blurred. I will see what I can recover.

It will be even better when I have three daughters in the procession...in about 4 years.
