They recently re-did the park where we live. It took them several months, mostly becasue they did EVERYTHING by hand, and I mean everything!! They were on their hands and knees with irons (the kind of irons that you iron your clothes with) making sure the patterns on the ground were perfect.

Once everything was finished, they held a huge ceremony to dedicate the park and to well wish it.

The men that were dedicating it, bowed down, out of show of respect and was served different fruits. I don't understand the entire meaning of this, however, I do know that twice a year Koreans visit their deceased ancestors places of burials and bring food to show that they still remember them and that they are still part of the family.

After the ceremony was over, all the children released their balloons into the sky. It was really neat.

The playground looks beautiful, and I think the ceremony they held in its honor sounds so interesting.
