Fire festival media has appeared online in great swathes – mainly through social networking site Facebook.
Video posted up by Eric Karrandjas gives a great view of the proceedings. If you look closely you’ll see rows of flame prior to the whole Oreum burning. That’s actually a long line of people holding lighted torches that went forward on command to start the fire.
Moving on, I’ve involved myself with the CouchSurfing community on Jeju. This Saturday we’re trying to schedule a meeting for Couchsurfers based here. Holly’s Coffee (City Hall). 6pm.
I’ve had a profile for a while now and tried CS properly for the first time in Iceland last year. Meeting the people I did in Reykjavik made the whole trip undeniably memorable.
A ‘thank you’ to Aaron Fowles, ex-jeju resident and now passionate CS’er for his assistance putting this together.
You may notice I’ve been relatively quiet on the Google news front. Don’t worry though – with the release of Google Sites last week I’ve been plenty busy.
To finish, here’s an amusing take on the earthquake that rocked England last week (hat tip OJB). Shot by a university student at their student home, it compares the response of Sky News to the BBC:
And what’s the first thing every does in England when there’s an earthquake?
“I know… we change our Facebook status….
Dan Clough excuse me house can you please stop vibrating…
Keely Power loves earthquakes…..shake me more, SHAKE ME MOREEEEE!
Helen Halliday just felt an earthquake in Leicester…or was it a nuke?
Dave Glover thinks that either a massive lorry just drove past his room, he is drunk, or there was just a minor earthquake… one of those.
John Staff is sad to say Rover the mouse has left the building. EARTHQUAKE!”
