only in korea

so i was just coming out of the subway on my way home from work and i heard a ton of noise, almost like an elephant. i rounded the corner of the block walking towards my building, to find this . . .



yes, that would be an elephant followed by 2 dragons, parading their way down one of the main streets in migeum. i have absolutely no idea why, but it was hard to ignore them. and they were putting on quite the show with all the dragony and elephanty smoke. as to why an elephant was breathing out smoke, your guess is as good as mine.

    Possibly floats for the Lotus Lantern Festival celebrating Buddha's birthday on May 4th.
