Why everything is different in Asia? Why cannot we sleep there? Why the moon horns point up there? Why are there so many smiles?

The people wait an hour for us after the show and ask questions about Christianity and Buddhism, and why we avoid the vertical line during the turn around in the dance?.. And why there are three colours of the performance - red, white and body-colour (black is the basic)...

And this meeting is like a part of the play... And Korea is like a soft knife, delicate and insistent, making a lobotomy to your packaged brains...
