As ever, we were worried that an event we organised our entire eight months off around might not live up to our extremely high expectations.<\/p>\n<p>We needn&#8217;t have worried &#8211; it was extraordinary. I can&#8217;t say that you should go and see it yourself &#8211; unfortunately this year was the last year of the Arirang, to be replaced next year by something else, no doubt also involving 100,000 spookily-drilled performers. We just opened our eyes wide, sat back, forgot about all the overtones and undertones, and enjoyed the show.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 25%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1451 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.viggers.com\/roundtheworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/01.-The-May-Day-Stadium.-Huge.-Looming.-Rather-impressive.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.viggers.com\/roundtheworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/01.-The-May-Day-Stadium.-Huge.-Looming.-Rather-impressive-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"The May Day Stadium.
