There have been numerous fireworks festivals recently around Korea, and I have been unable to go to any of them no matter how much I planned. So when I found out there was going to be one right in my backyard (almost) I was determined to let nothing stop me! There is not much to describe about a fireworks show; I think it's pretty self-explanatory. The show lasted about 80 minutes and involved three teams from Japan, Portugal, and Korea. Here's an excellent video clip with a much better view than we had. One interesting thing to note: some of the fireworks would explode as English letters; I've never seen that before.
The picture below does not do justice to the crowd. There had to be over 500,000 people there, if not more. This made exiting the park difficult, to say the least. My husband and I got separated in the crush (literally) and I was swept along by the crowd to places unknown. This was, honestly, a little frightening. Not being able to control or see where you are going is not a good feeling. However, it all worked out (after about a 3 mile walk!).

A few more pictures to enjoy.
