Fireworks from the Korean Independence Day
We had a great view Friday night. Due to a full card we didn't capture the best part of the fireworks, but in this video you can see the streaming curtain of fireworks coming off the bridge. The whole display lasted at least 30 minutes.

There is no Mr. Lee!
"Lee" is one of the most common surnames (which are actually forenames here) in Korea. Now, I have known for awhile that there is an R/L fusion letter. I thought that was how "Lee" was supposed to be pronounced as "R/Lee".
We are learning the letters in Korean class and our teacher, Mr. Lee had us read his name, but "Lee" was just "e". Since my friend Dan-Bi also has the name Lee, I asked her and she confirmed her name is,"E Dan-Bi". Where is the L come from? She doesn't know but think it is easier to translate.
The picture is still fuzzy, but becoming clearer...
