When dear and me reach Jonggak Station is around 10pm..... the human traffic condition already became totally stand steal. We get to move ourself slowly when some people giving up for waiting in the open area on sinter season. This is also the first year dear and me celebrate the New Year Eve without the fireworks. This year our celebration is a bits different where our first sound of New Year is the sound of bell that knock my the local VIP :) 

Thank to the sky... although it is very pack but it is still windy. We see the event through the huge Screen. After the even heard from the local friend said we are among the 100K people stuck in the human traffic that night :) Few way we can recommended to you... first came over here super early so you can enjoy the great spot you want or became the VIP to see people pushing each other from where you stand ahahaha.Anyway Happy NEW YEAR FOLKS !!! it is 2015 now !!!

After verify there is no fireworks presentation at Hangang bridge this year. Dear and me already expected the condition at Jonggak MRT Station will be super pack.

(Day 8) South Korea Seoul - Dangsan Station Yeouido Hangang Park "한강시민공원 여의도지구(여의도한강공원)"

When dear and me start to explore Around Dangshan MRT Station.... we found out that we really wrong obviously there is no fireworks will be release at here. Hangang River is like ghost town..... There is no rainbow light presentation from the bridge too. When checking with a local cyclist he try to use his body language to tell us there is no Fireworks presentation for this year.  Anyway at least dear and me give a visit else we will doubt at our own decision. It is very windy here is not a great places came on winter season cause you will feel very freeze !!!

(Day 8) South Korea Seoul - Dangsan Station "堂山站"

Alright dear and me already reach Around Dangsan Station "堂山站" but the question is why so less people get down from this station ? Based on the previous research dear and me found out that there is 2 places in Seoul having major new year eve celebration ..... one is at Jonggok Station (The VIP Will knock the old bell at Jonggok) another one is here Hangang River (local authorized will firing fireworks when the clock strike 12). But seen like something went wrong today.... as the amount of People get down of train is abnormality less. After few discuss with dear... we decided to pay a visit to the Hangang River since we already here.
