Fierce Face Photo: A Chinese Opera company came rolling into town, much like a traveling circus, complete with frightening characters in exaggerated makeup sans bulbous red noses. There are only two things I fear in life: A land war in Asia and the unholy grin of a circus clown. Today I add to my list of fears: Chinese opera performers.
Seoul, South Korea
Seoul Music Photo: For two simple reasons, my photography expeditions in Seoul generally begin at Seoul City Hall. For starters, I really don't know much else about Seoul because I'm too cheap to buy I don't have access to a guidebook. Secondly, it's apparent, there are myriad festivals and happenings on the lawn in front of city hall, including what seem like daily musical performances.
