The Buddhist Lantern festival was out of control. Huge lanterns / floats made their way down the main streets of the city. Originally, the cops did a good job of keeping people back, but, for the most part, it kinda descended into a "walk wherever you want" and "avoid the giant floats as they're coming down the street". I have far too many pictures to sort through, and will write up a longer entry on the way to our next destination, Gyeongju. But, yeah, it was a blast.


Me and a Buddha in a helicopter. Why a helicopter? -no clue- We originally through the Buddha was -part- the float, as it was moving in a slow, rhythmic style, and seemed to be just cycling through waves. Then I thought I noticed it -looking at me-. Then we saw it grab its head!
