Olympic Torch Lighting 5.1


For the last week or so, I've been getting my Macbook back in order, downloading stuff and getting some video when I have time. I have a new video editing program so have been learning how to use that as well. Also, trying to get some things arranged for the summer. I'm planning on going to Canada and Holland so getting the dates arranged to go with everyone else will be a little difficult.
Last Sunday, I was in Seoul near City Hall. I was planning on going to Deok Su Gung which is a temple right across from City Hall. As soon as I got off the subway, I heard and saw thousands of Chinese people shouting and waving their flags. There were also hundreds of journalists getting pictures of the event which was the Olympic Torch Lighting for Beijing 2008. A lot of people were shouting, "Welcome to China", and "Go China". There were also a few people wearing "I love Tibet" and this didn't go too well with all the prideful Chinese who chased them into a corner and started yelling things that were not coherent. It was somewhere around that point when a young girl said to me, " America is your father!"
Here are some pictures of the event. To see a video, go to the links on the right...
