Banpodaegyo (Bridge) is a two-tiered bridge over the Hangang (River). Its lower level, called Jamsugyo (Submergence Bridge), is designed to be below water during the rainy season. In 2009, Seoul Metropolitan Government added the Moonlight Rainbow Fountain to the Banpodaegyo, creating the world's longest bridge fountain (as recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records) with 380 water jets and a dazzling array of multi-colored lights. The Moonlight Rainbow Fountain's water jets are dynamic and can move in time to music creating spectacular ever-changing displays. Add to that the hundreds of rainbow-colored lighting combinations when night falls, and it is easy to see why Banpodaegyo is a magnet for tourists year-round. Extracted from Visit Korea. Sadly for us and after one hour an a half of waiting, the light show never happened.

Zaanse Schans Under Pandemic
In the middle of the pandemic, under strict sanitary precautions, I had the opportunity to visit some countries in Europe. One of them was The Netherlands. I spent one week there and I managed to visit Zaanse Schans, a neighborhood of Zaandam, a small town 15 minutes away by train from Amsterdam. There are several old beautiful winmills and old dutch houses making the countryside landscape looks great. Eventhough the weather was not the best, but we enjoyed the visit anyway. The photo shows probably the most photographed house in town and one of the highlights of this part of the trip. Due to the pandemic, the town was pretty empty and we were eable to see some spots with almost no one around.
