Last night I went to Seoul to watch a performance made by Lemieux and Pilon from Canada as a part of on going performances play and musical festival "9th Annual Seoul Interantional Performance Festival" in 대학로.

8 of us took the KTX train from Daejeon to Seoul. We booked the 5:29PM train but we got to the train station on the dot. (Almost missed the train >.<) On the train, took pictures and listened to some music and discussed After arriving at Seoul station, we didn't have enough time to eat dinner so we ordered KFC and ate in 15 minutes! hehe The perfomance was captivating, visually stimulating and just simply words can't describe!

I was lucky to sit close to stage. The most impressive use of 4D projection was when family of cats crawled across the stage.

Porco Rosso

Thank god it's examination week! Fortunately, I have no exams this semester so it is going to be somewhat light week for me.

So in celebration of it, I watched Porco Rosso today. As a fan of Miyazaki's animation, I was interested in watching his earlier works. The main character is a human who turned into a pig. Who is also a fighter pilot. Throughout the film, I was curious how the character turned into a pig but it doesn't explicitly tell you what happened to the character.

Pusan International Film Festival

On Friday,

KAIST GSCT held an annual workshop in Pusan. I woke up at 7AM to meet at the bus stop around 8AM. About 40 people showed up for the workshop including 3 professors.

The bus ride was somewhat decent. From Daejeon to Pusan, it took about 4 hrs but talking amongst peers and listening to music let the time fly.

The bus stopped at 칠곡휴게소 for brunch. Also on the way to the bus, people were assigned groups to move together when we watch the films. Unfortunately for me and other student council memebers, we had to were obligated to work throughout the workshop times.

I did get to watch one movie called "The French Kissers" from France. It is a French "American Pie" movie telling a story of French teenagers and coming of age.

afterwards, we moved to Hae Un Dae to eat dinner and free time.

The night went on with a roof top event at our min bak jib. The video I made this week was presented along with singing and food and good times.
