Short visit to 춘천

The past 2 days it was heavy downpour but Wednesday afternoon the skies cleared up (at least in Chueonchun,춘천) and it looked liked this...

너무예부지! ^^

Went to a puppet festival (춘천인형극제) with the relatives and saw a great play called 서른 엄마. It was a 2 person show (1 guy + woman) they each used a puppet to portray a mom/dad. The story was about becoming new parents. The set was VERY simple and they used it very well. The show will run in Seoul in the fall so I highly recommend it.

But I learned an important lesson coming back to Incheon (인천) this time. Don't take the 6pm bus the trip took an extra 1/2 hour because of rush hour... ^^;;;;;

exciting! the play sounds really interesting especially since it was like... marionette-style or at least they were holding up the puppets. were there any words or just...movement? any music?

nice sky line shot. :)

They were hand puppets not marionettes. There was no soundtrack but the 2 actors provided some music.

Thanks. The sky in the upper left is slightly blown out but thats ok.
