Arriang of Mount Paektu

Tonight was the Korean Dance Performance in Tsuen Wan at the Town Hall Auditorium.
I was pleasantly surprised to find this was not just a night of dance, but also of singing, and an introduction to the Gayageum, which is a traditional string instrument of the Korean.
The majority performances were group dances, but my favorite was titled, Destiny.  It was a dance of only two, telling the story of a romance between a woodsman and, of course, a beautiful young lady.
The costumes and set design were intriguing.  
Elder Bodily has been sick for the past week,
so Sister Nora Chan agreed to be my partner for the night.
Waiting for the doors to open before the show.

After the show!
(Brother Wang was a missionary who E/S Brown knew on their previous mission in New Zealand,
 and he is here visiting them)

Elder Bodily isn't all that anxious to attend the performing arts.  He would rather watch a group of guys playing basketball in the park.  But, I think he would have opted for watching two hours of dance over getting the flu.
Hoping he is over it very soon.
