Though William and JH Yi had sent texts that they wouldn't be able to join the sketch I tried to make a sketch at food court in Seoul Station waiting for somebody but nobody had shown. So I and YH Lee left for Gwanghwamun to sketch candle rally at 11:10 am.

It was amazing that people finished all the demonstration in a very honorable way full of peace and matured manners. Regardless of bad weather of snowing people gathered. Though the number of people gathered at that place might be not big enough to be compared to the total population we could feel the unified mind just being in that candle rally. It was a great experience to see the candles lighted on after light-off at once from the 10th floor of Officia building. Hot packs, water, candles, hot tea provided by citizens were thanked very much on such a cold snowy day.

백만이 넘는 참가자의 촛불 시위를 그토록 평화롭게 마칠 수 있는
대한민국 국민의 한 사람이라는 것에 참으로 마음이 뿌듯했습니다.
