In typical fashion for my dad, it wasn’t enough to get me this amazing kite… He had to go over the top.  At a recent kite show, for the National Anthem my new kite was flown by the same lady who flew the one at the show I first saw a similar kite at 5 years ago.  The announcer also mentioned that this flag was made for me and would be shipped to me right after the kite show.

One of the really cool things about this kite is the colors are all separate cloth sewn together.  Every star was cut out and sewn in separately.  The quality of the workmanship is very impressive.  I’ll post some more pictures of it after I’ve had a chance to fly it (something I haven’t found a good location for in Korea yet)
