ON THE LAND OF THE SKIES Nine hours on a plane above the clouds and you find yourself at the most Eastern point of Eurasian continent with the bright guide on the land of the skies. In the beginning of October 2007 a famous Ukrainian journalist Valeriy Yasynovskyi presented Ukrainian press in the capital of South Korea Seoul at the International Art Festival of the World Masters, mostly those, who promote traditional folk art from the stage — dancers, singers, musicians. Ukraine sent there a famous embroiderer Nadiya Vakulenko — approximately every participant and visitor of the holiday admired her Ukrainian hand made wonder. The author of the article takes the readers to October Seoul covered with green plants and flowers, leads them along its avenues, helps to feel the soul of the city, country and its citizens that held out due to the force of native land and who have the hope, though very far but real, for cathedral state on the divided by historical circumstances peninsula. We’ll also have opportunity to visit “Korean village”, a museum that lives its own quiet life with everyday troubles around the field, garden, cattle, its traditions, trades. |
