Gwanghwamunian Summers

The new revamped version of Gwanghwamun features a water fountain much larger than the one at City Hall.

On warm days you will find fully clothed children, soaked to the bone within the fountain. Some scream. Some run. Others stand. A few stand and watch with caution, trying to decide if they should venture into the wet unknown before them.

And with the children come parents who are divided between those who are doing their best to get no less than 79 out of focus photos, and those who watch with eagle eyes just in case someone slips and hits their little golden lamb.

You can always count on it that there will be some people in Seoul willing to use every opportunity they can to enjoy the what the city has to offer, even if it is not the same way as the person right next to them.
