Cheonggyecheon (청계천) (I stole that off of Wikipedia)

So, even though you are supposed to go to the River Restoration in the summer, when it's really hot so you can refresh yourself, I happened to be walking by it a few Saturdays ago with some people from my Korean class.

As far as Wikipedia is concerned it is the only modern stream rivitalization.  Here is the link in case you want to find out more.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheonggyecheon

As I walked down about half of the length, I could imagine that it would be nice in the summer.  THey also have some really nice murals (but I didn't take any pictures of those) and they pipe in sound of pounding  horse hooves (think: Monty Python and the Holy Grail coconuts).





I must be a good photographer because these are practically the smae pictures that are on Wikipedia.
However, they don't have this one:

These are the stones you can run across, like a screaming child, to cross the river.  Just be careful not to get pushed over by the aforementioned child.  Totally fun.  :)
