Photographer’s Note
I took this picture with my friends camera. It was taken at my university, before the Korean Thanksgiving (Chusok). Some students participated in the folk dances, some played the instruments where as most of the students enjoyed the show. Later me and my colleagues entertained our fellow students with traditional Pakistani food.

Chusok, Korea’s annual thanksgiving holiday, is one of the biggest migration events in modern Korea. Over half of the population visits families and ancestral graves during the three-day holiday. (Chusok falls on August 15 on the LUNAR calendar.)
Festive occasions, such as Chusok, demonstrate the importance of family to Korean society. Family members, usually from the paternal line, get together to prepare food, honour their ancestors, and cherish relatives, both living and deceased.

I did some post processing too.
