Santarchy at Santacon in Seoul 2010

Santacon took place last night in Hongdae at Ho Bar 3.

    Over 200 foreigners and Koreans joined together at Beer O' Clock in Sinchon last night decked out in their best Santa suits for the 2010 Santacon in Seoul! Once at Sinchon, the festivities started with some Christmas caroling and of course a beer stop on the walk over to Hongdae at around 7 pm. The walk over was exciting and Koreans everywhere were in shock when they saw the motley crew of Santa's. Santa's were drinking, and some of them were handing out Christmas candies to Koreans. The Santa's took over Ho Bar 3 for much of the evening, and enjoyed having dance parties outside in the crosswalk across the street.
    The highlight of the night was clearly the silent DJ that took place in the Hongdae park. Santa's and regular old joes simply had to hand over their ID's to check out wireless headphones for free. The Santa dance party began as hundreds of Santas danced the night away with their head phones on to the silent DJ. Thanks to www.silentdisco.co.kr for providing the free headphones and hours of entrainment for the 2010 Santacon!
