I was unable to identify the title and artist of two sidewalk paintings (19) (160), the large fiery orb (16), and the artist of the coffee plantation mural (62).

Many thanks also to the talented performers of Xarxa Teatre, Snuff Puppets, and Transe Express at last year’s City Hall festival marking, I believe, the tenth anniversary of 2002 World Cup magic (4) (5) (43) (79) (90) (143) (181).

Pixabay pics were incorporated in (13) (165).

All photos/GIFs were taken in or near Seoul except for two in Japan (66) (105). I used my trusty Fujifilm FinePix X100 (set to 5fps) for all efforts but one, (27), for which I used my iPod touch. Well, and (88), (152), (161), which I drew up on pixlr, and (30), (110), (129), and (141), developed from single stills. Gosh, and (159) is a collection of stills purloined from a different Seoul project of mine from a few years back.

So whether skipping rope all morn

Or rollercoasting on the moon

They romp like dying folks reborn

And of their happiness might croon

Quite through the night and afternoon

A tune as high as fun’s balloon

Aloft and light in youth’s typhoon

The shallow river blackened lots

And picked up speed out past the sedge

Where deeper water rolled in knots

That churned in eddies you’d allege

Were like the potent sort of pledge

That divers vow when charged to dredge

For bodies leapt from off the ledge

That churned in eddies you’d allege

Were like the potent sort of pledge

That divers vow when charged to dredge

For bodies leapt from off the ledge
