Welcoming the new year in style at Phoenix Resort. Watch skiers bearing fire torches ski down the slopes in formation, then usher in 2012 with a brilliant show of fireworks.
Seoul International Fireworks Festival
With the massive crowd, one would have thought the entire city of Seoul had unanimously decided to visit Yeouido Hangang Park this evening. Trains toward Yeouinaru (Line 5) were so packed there was no room for movement. On a typical evening, one would take less than 5 minutes to exit the station. Today, it took 40 minutes.
Today is the Seoul International Fireworks Festival, an annual event of extravagant fireworks display. This year, the show features fireworks displays by professional teams from Japan and Portugal.
I managed to stay only for the first set as it was impossible to remain on the same spot when hordes of people are shoving their way through. Urgh. More pictures of the crowd.
And some highlights from the first set of fireworks display.
