The weekend before last was a big event here in Jindo. There is a natural sea-parting phenomenon that happens every year. We did not attend because it was still a bit chilly, but the photos of our fellow expats are fantastic.
We did decide to go to the concert that was put on, which happened on Monday evening. There was traditional music and then they had several K-Pop acts. We did not get to stay long, though. It was very loud and I think the singing scared Gianni. If you have never heard traditional Korean music, you should look some up. I would compare it to a banshee. I totally understand why Gianni had a screaming meltdown and then was an angel as soon as we left.
She did enjoy the first song, even though it was just as loud. It was a boy band dancing to a Lady Gaga song. Hmmm.
They also had a couple of amusement rides. I don't know if you can see it in the photo, but there are NO seat belts! what?! Those kids were holding hands so that they wouldn't pop out and every once is a while, a kid would topple onto the floor and the other kids would help pull him back into a seat. Madness!
Yesterday, we were able to get out to a local park, which Gianni loved. She played with a little Korean girl and they were talking to each other, even though I doubt the girl understood Gianni's gibberish and as far as I know, Gianni can't speak Korean. I could be mistaken.
