Sunday was Korean Culture Day which meant a lot of people, and a lot of activities. By the end of the shift my feet were so sore I felt like I was going to fall over. Nevertheless, the experience was really fun, I enjoyed working with the guests, and participating in the festivities. My favorite part of the day was teaching people how to make the lanterns. It was nice being able to explain to them what to do, and helping them create an art project that they would be able to take home, and (hopefully) keep forever!
Compared to the Filipino American History Celebration I felt like we were less organized. People didn't really understand what they were making and I even heard one man ask how these "dinky arts n crafts [were] part of Korean Culture." Besides him, people genuinely seemed like they were having a lot of fun, which made me happy. I really enjoyed working with the public.
I AM SO SORRY NATALIE. THIS IS THE ONLY PICTURE OF KOREAN CULTURE DAY I HAVE:
