Yunsun Song

A. Yes, I went to the Gay Pride Parade. It was extraordinary. It was over the top when I saw a lot of people who were kissing each other even thoungh they were same gender. In addition, when I met people who were not gays but enjoyed that festival, I was shocked. However, I was really impressed about people who admited abnormal people who loves the same gender.





B. In Korea, there is famous dance called Ganggangsullae. It was first used to bring about a fruitful harvest and has developed into a cultural symbol for Korea. It is often associated with the Chuseok holiday. This dance is performed only with women at night.

  1. I think Ganggangsullae is kind of similar to the Chinese Mid-autumn Festival...
