Madang Hannuri – Korean

Last night, I attended the 5th annual concert of Korean Traditional Performing Arts.

It was really really good.

Basically, traditional drumming, dancing, etc. Lots of people attended and a good night was had by all.

Here are a few images and some video from last night.

Sorry in advance for the messy video, I’m still getting the hang of not throwing the camera at brick walls. LOL

Summer in Auckland

Yep, and the pretty flowers come out 🙂

Cherry Blossoms are becoming very popular in Auckland now, with a growing Asian community and appreciation for cultures, Auckland is slowly becoming one of the best places I know of :)… it’s still a sucky city, but it’s getting better 🙂
