Above are some photos from outside our apt from the day before the election. I couldn't resist the opportunity to have my photo taken with the enthusiastic supporters of candidate number "2." His music blaring as usual, and speeches abounding, we couldn't miss the opportunity to get involved.
While photographing the festivities (at 8am mind you), one of the other candidates himself posed for a picture with us! The first picture at the top is him, and as you can see that he is a bit worn out from weeks of rallies. But that is why these guys get the line of ladies (e.g. see the line of ladies in green) to help out daily by shouting random Korean phrases at you as you walk by (presumably in support of their candidate).
Well, after all this excitement we are glad that the music stopped and we can rest knowing that we have no idea who these people where or the outcome of the race.

ReplyDeleteunfortunately, we cannot vote. but we did get the day off from work. (thank you Korean gov't for that) yet, if I could vote it would be for the guy/gal who did not play annoying music outside our apt all day.
