Warnings at 2009 Korean Festival in Los Angeles
Ah, two items close to my heart. No smoking and being photographed…
장터내 모든곳에서는 금연입니다.
본인의 동의 없이… 사진이 촬영 게재…
By attending the Korean Festival, you consent to being photographed, filmed and recorded as members of the Korean Festival audience and consent to the use of any such film, image or recording at the discretion of the Korean Festival.
Someone should have told the lady selling the chaltteok gwaja. I had posted about CW’s chaltteok cookie, and this woman was at the festival selling something similar, so I was really interested. I started taking photos with my iPhone and was about to pick up a sample so I’d have something new to report on this blog. Well, I don’t know what her problem was… she started complaining about my taking pictures and wouldn’t offer me a sample, which she had been handing out to attendees. Other companies who pay thousands of dollars to have a table at these fairs rush to give out samples because that’s part of marketing their business. She must be in violation of some trademark or patent… CW did patent their technology…
And of course, I am so glad that “Smoking is prohibited in the entire Festival Area. Prohibido fumar en esta area.”
