Seoul Protest

It's been awhile since I finished project Hi Seoul together with Majie, Billy and Yee Lee. Stay in Seoul for 3 weeks sounds fun, but staying in hotel doing editing job all day long really make me want to hang myself to the ceiling fan and strangle myself to death, some-more I felt sick for few days once I reached Seoul because of the terrible weather. But there were still exciting moments for me even though I stayed in hotel. One night, I joined the Koreans and protest together, cause if I do that in Malaysia, I would be locked up in jail and being interrogate by ISA. This is my first and the last chance to protest, in foreign country. Wooohooo....

This happened near the hotel I'm staying. Took my camera and rush to the location.

Even though I lived 13th floor above the ground, I still can hear the protestors cheer leading.

One thing I like about Korean is they happened to be very unite. Compare to Malaysian, still out of place. Parents would bring along their children and march along with others.

Yee Lee told me that their government had too many concessions in the accord and that it does not include strict enough quarantine restrictions to protect against mad cow disease.

They even got their own protest song, which I don't understand at all.

It was a peaceful protest.

I thought I could get a better view from my hotel rooftop. Together with 2 reporters, they used my access card for the lift and followed me to the rooftop to snap this historical images. In the lift, looking at their DSLR with great lenses really makes my Canon 350D looks bad.

The protestors marched through the capital until the early hours of the morning .

Protestors gravitating towards areas of high foot traffic.

Believe me, this really works... People VS traffic.

Anyway, I'm glad that I'm still alive after the protest and having great meal from 7-11 everyday when I was sick. Great moment and experience while doing "Hi Seoul".
