WOW!!!


Last night was the big fireworks show at Gwangan Beach. Bob, Will, Aaren and I ventured out to the show and man was it worth it! We arrived about 3 hours early to get a good spot on the sand. We spread out a few beach mats and played cards while we waited. They estimated about 1.5 million people attended the show. That's about 1/3 of the entire city!

It was the most spectacular fireworks show any of us had ever seen. It was an hour straight of fireworks set to music. There were three big barges in the bay shooting off the display. Here's a picture Will took. Look at how tiny the bridge looks in comparison to the fireworks! Fireworks Photos

The theme of the show was different places around the world. There was Asia, Europe, United States, Africa and then the final portion was about Korea. They used the bridge as a great prop for the show. They shot a lot of fireworks off the bridge and also had a feature where the fireworks "rained" off the bridge. There were also remote control airplanes shooting off fireworks and parachute fireworks with strands of lights that burned as they floated down to the water.

More photos to come soon!
