Christmas Lights

Last night I took the family out to see Christmas lights. In Korea this is a little different than in Canada as there are very few individual homes and no one decorates the outside of their house. Instead, here, businesses and the city, will put on light displays. We went to the city center and took a lot of pictures.

I also shot some video on my new HD camcorder (Canon Vixia HG20) which once it’s been edited I’ll upload and share here. I’m planning on adding a video blog section to show different areas around the city. That’ll be a little delayed due to being very busy with end of the semester work and client work at the moment.

updating to include a video now (full size HD version here.)

Enjoy the video below.

Nice pix, Sean (not sarcastic!) ... what are you using, your little point-and-shoot? or are these pix from the new camcorder?

John,
Those are from my point and shoot. The camcorder video will be up on facebook within a minute or so.

Wow. Those are pretty impressive! When you get to Canada, you’ll have to bring the family to the festival of lights at Niagara Falls around Christmas time.

Xup - that definitely sounds like a good plan.

Also updated this post with video of the lights.

Those are some nice pics.  Korea has some nice areas of Christmas lighting around the holidays (shame I can’t photograph them well with my point-and-shoot).  I just came back from Japan and was amazed at how pretty the displays were there, too. 

Though I hate the way Koreans have turned Christmas into yet another couple’s holiday, I do at least enjoy the lights.
