Diary (2012.12.12, India)

2012.12.12. Wed.


Today I checked the Korean news through my smart phone. The Korean Presidential election is coming. Next Wednesday Korean people will choose their future. It will be my 4th Presidential election but it was impossible.

The period of the overseas Korean people's application was 22th Jul. to 20th Oct. In this period, I should have visited the Korean consulate General in Mumbai but at that time I was in Korea. The absentee voting in Korea was from 13th Dec. to 14th Dec. I felt I was caught in a trap of my conscience. It was an uncomfortable feeling. Did I have to check with passion?

In the news, there were many Korean people who had exerted their rights to vote. They went to the polls for few hours to 10 hours. I was ashamed about my complaining.

I just prayed for a high turnout, participation of the younger generation, good weather on 19th Dec. and the renewal of Korea.
