(Jeju travel Mr.Dee) tour with balloon artists

As I am a tour guide ​I meet diverse tourists from all over the world.  Some times quite amazing experience I get from my job. This time my clients are balloon artists.
I saw people who do balloon art as their hobby but never seen as a profession. Well, they made so many things by blowing balloons. Interesting!

Wherever we stopped by such as a restaurant, shops, scenic places, they started making a balloon of art and gave them to local people as a gift. Of cause locals are so amazed by their performance and so happy when they got the presents. 

The artist name is Dee and my name is Dee too. His Dee is an abbreviation of Daniel and mine is abbreviation of Donghak. Anyway we use same name.

We had a lot of conversation and slowly our subject went to Politics. I think politics is our common interesting. I think talking politics is the best way to get to know the circumstance of the countries and most of visitors are interested in our politic situation as well. However, sensitive things must be avoided.  

First, we had talked about Trump and and prospect of future of America. They were really anti Trump. And the subject smoothly moved to a current president 'Park' and a huge protest in Seoul. It's shame for both of us because we had to talk bad thing about our presidents. And we both are worried the whole world is go to be nationalistic. Talking was going on and on and time went flies.

They were very interested in history of Korea and Jeju island. It took a lot of efforts to explain about the history from bottom to top such as Tamra kingdom, Mongolian occupation, uprising in Choseon Dynasty, April 3rd massacre. However, it's worth explaining all the details. The more they are interested, the more I wanted to explain. Let them know your culture and history is the purpose of my job,

I said " you should join a protest in Seoul and learn how to expel the president. Because you probably need it to get Trump down" he was laughing and agreed with that. Well, it was very enjoyable traveling with them. 

When we farewell they made a quite a few arts of balloons for my kid.
