Finally, - a tribute to the
man I think was the driving force and "Organizer" of the show -
- looking very happy after
the great success -
At least he made an adventurous
danishman , - the only foreigner present -, very happy and very busy for
a couple of days
This was simply great fun,
- and a great show -
"Thank You Kongju", - for letting
me join!
