The Banpo Bridge  spans the Han River in Seoul, Korea.  Work began last March on the design of water fountains that shoots out from the bridge, in sync with an amazing light display specially designed to attract more tourists. 

The water fountain  falls gracefully from the Banpo Bridge, much like a waterfall. The water dance to music in 100 different configurations. At night an amazing light show creates an even more fantastical scene.

Located in Downtown Pyongyang Near the Kim Il Sung Stadium and in the west side of Moran Hill is the abandoned  Kaeson Youth Park.

“It turns out there are three funfairs in Pyongyang in various states of disrepair, the largest being the Kaeson Youth Park.Opened in 1984, it was built to project an image of progress and the ingenuity of its citizens. Backed by Russia and China when they were heavily funding the DPRK’s growth, the Kaeson Youth Park is the largest of three funfairs still in operation in the greater Pyongyang area.”  Source

Meisho Amusement Machines Built the “roller coaster of death” for this fun fair that was originally named ” Kwansong Tancha”. According to the Roller coasters database this rusty steel coaster first opened in 1984 with opening of the park.

Here are some images of what the park looked like when it was open.

The new waiters serve customers hot towels and drinks, and are given generous tips in the form of soya beans. The two uniformed monkeys are family pets of the owners that have been allowed to help in the bar. Many patrons insist that the new servers are actually better than their human competition.
