Remember, remember, the 5th of November

Welp, thanks to our house Kiwi, we celebrated Guy Fawkes Night in South Korea.

What is Guy Fawkes you ask? Why let me have my friend Wikipedia help you:

An annual commemoration observed on 5 November, primarily in England. Its history begins with the events of 5 November 1605, when Guy Fawkes, a member of the Gunpowder Plot, was arrested while guarding explosives the plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life, people lit bonfires around London, and months later the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Act enforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot's failure.


Here are some pictures of our celebrations on the river's edge and in the Inje tunnel...
