London Korean Festival 2015
This year's London Korean Festival was held in Trafalgar Square on Sunday 9 August between 12:00 - 20:00. The cultural event had Korean food, music, performances, art and activities.
The stage had music from K-Pop and Rock music bands f(x) and Guckkasten as well as breakdance performances from Jingo Crew and Soul Mavericks. Other performances given came in the from of traditional Korean dances by Yung Myung Hwan Dance Company as well as modernised performances from the Yeon Hee Company. Instrumental music performances were provided by PAN and 4 in Nori. The stage was designed as a catwalk to also showcase the Korean fashion.
There are four "themed zones": Tourism Zone, Food Zone, Contents Zone and Brand Zone. The Tourism was completely packed and there was hardly any way of getting there without a long wait. There were chances to enter a competition with GoKorea for a trip for two to South Korea. I got there around peak lunchtime so queues for the Korean food stalls were lining up along the walls of the Square. The Contents Zone had activities ranging from reading Korean comics through physical books to mediums of technology to fashion. The Brand Zone showcased the latest Korean-based car brands and technology.
The K-Music 2015 festival is to be held later this year with music and performances across London through September. You can find out more about it at serious.org.uk/K-Music.

Instagram May and June 2015
Second instalment of pictures from my Instagram covers pictures of May and June (planning to do it monthly - promise!).
The Blue Bridge (subtlety titled) can be found at St James's Park. It was quite a trek getting to the park and I came out of St James's Park Station but I wouldn't put it down as the nearest tube station to the park I found. Anyway, the bridge itself is a great location for great views of the surrounding areas with views of Buckingham Palace on once side and Horse Guard's Parade on the other. Great views of the Tiffany Fountain with these illustrious water streams blooming out of the water as well.
I took this picture in 2013 of the White Cube Gallery in Bermondsey. The design of the White Cube Gallery plays on symmetry, minimalism and lighting creating an expanse space with more focus on the artworks in their exhibitions. It is a real beauty to behold and is one of the most tranquil galleries I've been to.
A snapshot of the concert of Pride London in Trafalgar. Extremely tiring work but very worthwhile to see an event that brings every together to celebrate the inclusivity of a community.
The Burlington Gardens Festival is part of the Brown's London Art Weekend and had a myriad of interactive activities and artworks on display.

Instagram April 2015
Oh wow! A new feature to the blog will be my Instagram monthly updates starting with April 2015. I will be going through the background to the images that get posted on Instagram on a monthly basis.
So to start off...
Oh okay... this was taken at the end of March but I thought it very much deserves a mention. These neon-coloured pigeons were created by Patrick Murphy and had them perched on lampposts around Soho Square and Greek Street. These were suppose to up for a duration of 3 months starting from February 2015 but last week I saw that they were still there. So if you are in and around the area, it is very much a thing to look at before they take off completely.
This image is of Granary Square's fountains in full spurt some time in the evening. My phone seem to have completely removed a large chunk of photos which included the fountains, so I went back to take a fresh set. An app was just released when I returned which allowed users to play snake with the fountains. The app was not available from my app store so I shared my partner-in-crime's iPhone to play. We only played for about 15 minutes until the time hit 8pm until all games ceased and a stream of colours was unleashed, which is what we witnessed in the photo.
I took this photo in 2013 when I just finished work on a Saturday and met up a friend to walk along the side banks between London Bridge to Southbank Centre. We both took pictures of Southwark Bridge which was lit up against a backdrop of a hazy blue sky and lights of the City. It absolutely was wonderful to watch as we walked along the bank.
This is image is of the Larry sculpture from the Shaun in the City trail which can be found at the City of London Information Centre. I usually pop into the centre as there is so much things you can find there that shows how amazing London can be with its overly high abundance of things to do in London.
I went to the Bishops gate Institute as part of Open House last year with its rich history in the arts and history. The library there is a beauty to behold like the rest of the Institute.
I went to the Canalway Cavalcade on May Bank Holiday Monday and the sun was out on full streams bringing out the colours of the boats at Little Venice. There was so much to do on the day with sights to enjoy, food to indulge in and activities to get yourself stuck in. It is something I look forwards to doing again next year!
