The Banpo from Gangnam...

I'm on temporary duty at the 121 Hospital in Yongsan to learn about oral surgery and lodging at the JW Marriott just south of Post. Nice digs for sure!

Last night I headed out on the streets of Gangnam to explore. About 9:30 pm, I noticed a crowd on the Han River settling under the Banpo Bridge anticipating something.

Then ka-boom... colored water jets synchronized to music... it was the Bellagio turned on its side. Kind of cool... both sides shoot off simultaneously. The world's largest bridge fountain: 380 nozzles spewing 190 tons of water per minute.

Nice until the audio track hit Celine Dion... Eek!
