Busan International Fireworks Festival was the latest festival I visited. It was held at Gwangali Beach in Busan. I got there early to avoid getting trampled in the subways and also to get lunch before the long wait. According to some newspapers they expected 1 million people to attend this annual spectacular. So I had some time to kill and ended up enjoying a nice cup of cuppachino at the nearest coffee shop, overlooking the beach. This way I could keep an eye on when to head down and find a seat.
It was 4 PM when I went to find a seat. The show only started at 8PM, so a 4 hour wait was in the order of day. This is a time that you realise the value of a smartphone. It soon started to get dark and I could see my potential view. I made sure that I could find a seat right at the front. Unobstructed by a person trying to take a picture or walking around.
So here are my pictures of this event. There is just one word I could find to describe the fireworks and it’s “INDESCRIBABLE”. The picture gives you and idea of the size, but there is a lack of dimension that really made the experience even better. I hope that when you get a chance to visit South Korea in October, that you find yourself at this festival. It was really amazing.
