Magic Fountain in Barcelona, Spain

I visisted Magic Fountain in Barcelona, Spain. It is amazing that the fountain is so pretty that many people come to see it from all over the world.

I tried to make it similar to the real fountain show.!

Chicago

I went to Chicago in 2007 summer.
I like cities, since I've grown up a big metropolitan city, Seoul, in Korea.
As they say that it is the USA's thrid city, it was a nice big city with high skylines.

some stat comparison between seoul and chicago
area of Chicago : 237 sq mi
area of Seoul not including metropolitan area: 234 sq mi
population of chicago : 2.8 million (metropolitan area 9.8 million)
population of Seoul : 10 million (Metropolitan area 23 million)

Skyscrapers in Chicago

Night view from John Hancock Tower. You can see the tall sears Tower, which was the tallest building in the US in late 20th century.

Trains connect within the city giving a characteristic cityview. In the downtown, the distance between stations is really short, like it will take only a couple of minute by walk.

Nice colored fountain show with music

It was so cold at that night, and couldn't see it for a long time.

At Seoul Art Center in seoul, there is a nice fountain which has a couple of shows at night with playing classic music and shining pretty colors on it.

In Barcelona,Spain, a fountain called, magic fountain is tremendous. In evening, there are millions people, residents and tourists, coming to see the fountain show.

Ann Arbor

Since I am living on 12th floor of the apartment, I can see some great views!!

Niagara Falls in Winter

I needed to go to Buffalo, NY for a school interview in 2008 Feb. On the way back home, I went to see Niagara Falls.

Canadian Falls
They say the location of the Falls is always moving further back because of erosion.

Night View-pretty waves!

Another night view.
They shined colored lights on the Falls at night.
Look at the beautiful rainbow!

Copper Harbor & ...

Grandma has a summer house in Copper Harbor, UP(upper peninsula) Michigan. I, Mr.Sgoi, Mr. J, and Beetle went to visit her during summer 2007. It took 9 hours to drive up there from Lansing. Thank you for having us, Grandma!
