Besides the 2008 Gwangju F1 & Super Car Show, there are some other things going on this weekend in Gwangju that might appeal to those visiting to commemorate the anniversary of the Gwangju Massacre. There will be a Rose Festival on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in the rose garden at Chosun National University. You can find a list of 5/18 commemoration events here, from the 518 International Solidarity Program. There are a ton of things scheduled for this coming weekend and next, at locations all over the city, and I haven't the time to get into them, so check the programs scanned and uploaded on that site.
Ah, and anybody in Suncheon next week may be in the mood to check out some candlelight rallies against the import of American beef. They will be held on the 17th, 21st, and 24th at 7 pm in front of Choeun Plaza in Yeonhyang-dong. Going to be totally awesome, I'm sure. *cough* Some Naver blogs are saying that roughly 300 or 400 people made it to the last rally in front of Suncheon National University. I expect about 65% of the crowd will be students, and I'm gonna guess that about 10% of them regularly wear a seatbelt and about 8% of them wash their hands after using the bathroom. 살고 싶다!
