Olympic torch relay in Seoul ends



Handsome Police!

Yesterday 27 April 2008, Gamy and I joined the celebration of The Olympic torch relay which successfully reached in the capital of South Korea, Seoul. For the whole journey, there are seventy plus runners, including Lee Sei-Kee, chief of the China-South Korea Friendship Association, Heo Nam-Soo, mayor of Busan City, actresses Chang Nara, Kim Mi-Jung, movie director Kim Jong-Seok, and Olympic gold medalists Moon Dae-Sung, Ahn Hyun-Soo, Nam Eun Young and Kim Soo-Nyung, participated in the 22-kilometer relay that covered Seoul’s most famous landmarks and historical sites.

Wow! 22-Km!!! We decided to take subway to reach the final destination. We gave up! Hahaha! After a four-hour relay, last runner Yon Tae-Woong lit the cauldron amid a cheering crowd of thousands waving Chinese and South Korean national flags at the City Hall Plaza (Final destination).
Unfortunately, Chinese students clashed with anti-Beijing demonstrators at the Olympic torch relay in Seoul, throwing rocks and punches at the latest troubled stop on the flame’s round-the-world journey. 8,000 of polices guarded the torch from protesters blasting China’s treatment of North Korean refugees. Nonetheless, a North Korean defector tried to set him on fire to halt the relay.
After Seoul, the torch was scheduled to make its first-ever trip to North Korea for a relay on Monday.

Stay out from me!! I am hungry!!~
