Free Earth Day Trees on Truck

The man in charge says their foliage is sparse because
they’re not yet planted in the ground.

The trees are going fast. There are other freebies on the grounds, such as cool reusable bags, probiotic drink samples…  Live music being played on stage in front of the large building with the Radio Korea sign. More pics and video clips soon. Read about the scheduled activities here.
