Lantern Festival's Eve Celebration

Yesterday, I spent the day around Insadong and Jogyesa Temple. I watched the performers get ready for the parade.  There were performances and everything was decorated so beautifully. Next Monday, the 12th, it is Buddha's Birthday, so these events are part of the celebration. 

I think she is supposed to be a clown. She had a great energy and was dancing all over the place and grinning.

I wanted a picture of this guy so bad, and he kept turning away, but I finally got him!

Everyone was really nice and kept offering to take my picture with the performers.
