June is Pride!


Apologies. Graduate school has kept me away from blogging. I'm not going to promise returning to regular blogging soon, because I am about to graduate and move to Boston to start a new job! My husband (did I mention we got married :-D) will be spending his summer in Seattle for an internship before finishing up in San Diego. So I have a busy month ahead of me.

However, everything is all settled down, I will be getting into a routine for Korean language study and blog writing. My new job does not involve anything queer or Korean, so I have to be vigilant in retaining my language skills and providing information to my dear (queer?) readers.



Anyway, June is pride month! Happy pride! Korea's pride festival is begining this Saturday June 11th. The main pride parade will be on Saturday from 11 AM to 7 PM in Seoul plaza, with estimates for the parade starting around 4:30. That night there will b a private beach official party on SEvit-Seom (one of the artificial islands on the Han River0 beginning at 10 pm. Check out KQCF's website for more information.

The film festival goes from June 16th (Thursday) to the 19th (Sunday). Screenings are at the Lotte Cinema Broadway Hall near Sinsa Station. More information about the films can be found at the KQFF's website. (That website though is pretty messy on their English language page...)

Hope you have a great pride month!
