Now, to cool off, the Korean presents the new Banpo Bridge at Seoul, newly renovated with dancing water fountains:
Fountains were installed as Seoul city's new project to upgrade the city's looks.

Not that I have any clue as to how that was created or installed, but I'm guessing the funds would have been better spent on a renewable energy source instead.
Eh, the Korean likes it. Seoul really does need a makeover. It is on the verge of being a world-class city, and it has to look the part.
It's a pretty neat idea. I wonder if there are other bridges around the world with the same "feature".
They could put sensors on the sides of the bridge so the water would follow a passing vehicle, giving the sensation of a car splashing on an infinite puddle of water.
Hmm, scrap that, with the traffic in Seoul, the fountain would just be on all the time.
I miss that city.
Apparently it's pulling water from the river below. I wonder if it sucks up some fishes too. Then this would be the world's largest fish cannon!
