The Hi Seoul festival was really cool. The theme was something like "from history to today" or something, and they had some old stuff on show. One of the exhibitions was a timeline through the last 50 years in Korea and one presented old everyday life places, and that exhibition you could take part in. There were actors interacting with the people. I got punished by a police woman for wearing too short shorts!
And as you can see, the theme color was pink.
The timeline of Korean history, aka the great things that happened to change the world:
1982 Antti was born.
1983 Mari was born.
1986 Tola was born.
1987 Greete was born.
Great events indeed...
But the intresting thing was how the years of Korean war were presented. Rainbows and flowers.
We experienced the old life with Mari.
Posing in a photoshop.
Sitting in a comic book store.
Admiring the precise work at a tailor.
Spying on a hairdresser.
Waiting for a school bus at the bus stop.
Not concentrating in the class.
But Mari was made to study by a strict teacher who hit his pointing stick to the desk. We got really scared in the beginning when we didn't realize what was going on!
And Birgit got a trimming at a barbershop.
It was a really nice day to go there. It was sunny and the weather was warm. Also the actors were all enthusiastic in the beginning of the festival. We walked by also on the last day of the festival, and the actors seemed quite tired... :)
