Beauty fair, fireworks and just Korean weekdays

Beauty fair, fireworks and just Korean weekdays

December 2018 · 4 min read · Ojeong-gu

You know, life in Korea is in full swing. Life flies at a breakneck pace.

Every new day seems the same as yesterday. It seems that only yesterday it was summer, and today it is already the middle of autumn. It seems that only yesterday she sent an article to the hostess of our community, and already the payment for it came to the wallet.

So, I have more and more thoughts and impressions. I write everything down in a notebook, so that next weekend I can sit down at the typewriter </ del> laptop and write an article. But for some reason the list is getting longer and longer, and in the folder with articles for the file community is not added.

I do not know how it happened, but now I have four jobs. One more or less constant, now I am a financial insurance consultant in one of the largest Korean companies Samsung (Yes, yes, Samsung is not only phones and other electronic equipment, Samsung is also a large insurance company).

Truth be told, I myself do not know how I got there, and what I generally do there. But for now I'm drifting. In addition, a couple of times a week, I teach Russian (which I will soon forget myself) to Koreans.

A couple of times a month, and sometimes a week, I go to interpretation services for various events or negotiations. Well, the tourism industry can not forget. Just show the city, then help with the record in the hospital or in a plastic clinic, then Korean cosmetics are generally needed.

In general, a little of everything, but in the end it turns out that Saturday and Sunday are not weekends, but full-fledged workers.

Looks like this article turns into a small diary entry. It remains only to add the key phrase “Dear Diary ...».

In fact, today I finally got to the computer, I wanted to share with you my impressions of the fireworks festival last week in Korea. This festival is annual.

And every year this is a very large and grand event. Incredibly many people come to this festival. So much so that even squeezing can be difficult. And you go to your destination with a snail's speed.

This year, the fireworks were not only at night, but during the day. I have never seen daytime fireworks, and even could not imagine what it is. And I still cannot ..., because I did not succeed in getting to them.

In addition to fireworks, in the park where this event takes place, various tents with a variety of entertainment are set up. Somewhere you can make something with your own hands, somewhere you can draw a temporary tattoo, have a snack in another tent, and listen to music somewhere.

The event takes place in a park near the Khangan River, near building 63, which belongs to the festival’s organizer, the Hanhwa company.

In truth, I would not go to this event, because once, when I came to it, there were so many people that I felt like a sprat in a bank. And to go home was generally a long adventure. The queues in the subway and buses were kilometer.

But this year, luck smiled at me and I won 2 tickets to the VIP zone, right by the Hang River, right in front of the place where the fireworks were supposed to launch. And yet, only in this zone were the chairs, so it was much more comfortable and pleasant to admire the show.

By the way, on that day, all morning and the day before the event, the sky just roared, the rain was incredible. And I thought that everything would be canceled. But after lunch the sun woke up. And I could only go to the festival by 7 o'clock, just at the fireworks.

And so, this year the fireworks were from 3 countries: Spain, Canada and South Korea.

I took all the fireworks on the video to share with everyone, but I couldn’t upload it to YouTube. Type copyright infringe. The background music sounds too distinctly ...

So forgive me, I’ll only share the fact that the face control has passed.
