24-hour Seoul

Seoul is a mega-city and its population seems to work hard. They play hard, too. Seoul is a 24-hour city as we have explored for our report on nightlife in Seoul for Euronews. All day, there are historical parades around the palace and small events happening for tourists. The lantern festival illuminates the night sky as families, couples and tourists walk along a river taking pictures of the big lanterns reflecting on the water. There was even an impromptu flute concert under a bridge.

We get to do a lot of interesting things to be able to show what is available to do at night. We do it all in one night... theatre, concerts, plays! Just a little, in and out. We saw the first production of "Billy Elliot" in Asia and not in English. They were so nice, they invited us back just to come and see the whole production on Sunday. We saw "En Attendant Godot" also in Korean.

Next stop, a concert of Worldbeat, a Korean percussion group. They were fantastic. At the end of the concert, they led the whole audience out to a courtyard and had everyone clapping and dancing. Then they took pictures with everyone, including your's truly.
