A long time ago we posted a video of us riding our
bikes through Bucheon's Jung Ang Park. As well, we showed you a time lapse of the
sun and clouds over the park, as well as a
concert in the park, but we never actually gave a proper tour of the park. And so, we decided to put together a cheap, National Geographic knock off video of things you can find in the park, (and many other Central parks in Korea), from indigenous birds to foreign photographers, stampeding students and odd mating rituals. You'll get a better look at the park from the inside, though we can easily say that there's still a lot of the park that we've missed out on. Stay tuned for more videos on Jung-Ang Park in the future. For now, click on the picture above for the video, or click here our edition of
Inter-National Geographic in Bucheon's Jung-Ang Park. Check it out on
YouTube if you'd prefer that instead.

I'm pretty sure the bird you saw was a magpie "까치(kka-chi)". Koreans believe that magpies bring a good news. Who knows? A cosmos flower and a sun flower are kind of symbols of the fall in Korea. You might see them alot if you travel the countryside of Korea this time of season. I think they're practicing a traditional ancient Korean martial art called "Taekkyon (택견)". People believe that it's the origin of the most popular Korean martial art "Taekwondo". (But I'm not sure). I found a short clip about "Taekkyon" on Youtube (http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=GZew6zfcKi0). By the way, I lived in Yeokgok, Bucheon.
