Banpo Bridge Moonlight Rainbow Fountain


I haven’t even made it out of the country and I am already finding so many awesome things about Korea.  Banpo Bridge is one of the most rockin things I’ve come across so far, and is a must-see as soon as I get to Seoul.  While “longest fountain bridge” is probably not the most difficult world record to beat, it’s still a pretty unique sight.  The 1,140 meter double-decker bridge is lined with roughly 10,000 LED nozzles, which light up several times a day for a multi-colored musical water spectacle that puts the Bellagio to shame.  Seoul I’ve got two words for you:  Rainbow Radness.

Anyonghaseyo!


This is my first experience with blogging, so bear with me.  I decided to create this blog so everyone can live vicariously through me.  :)   Okay, so not exactly, but I do want to be able to keep in touch with everyone and show you all where I’ve been and what I’ve been up to.
As you all know, I will be leaving for South Korea soon (fingers crossed).  It has been a long and frustrating process, but I know it will all be worth it.  Thanks to all of my friends for helping me through this transition.  It has definitely not been easy detaching myself from all of my material belongings, saying goodbye to my baby Roxie, and crashing on couches.  I have also had to come to terms with knowing I will most likely miss Thanksgiving and Christmas with my family, and the birth of my very first neice/nephew.  I’m so thankful for the help and support of my friends and family, and I hope to see some of you on the other side of the world!
