87 days and counting.


The bridge to more bridges.


In Korean, Han means "great". Cutting right through the heart of Seoul, the Han River (한강) is bustling with life. The north and south banks are lined with elevated freeways and shoreline bike/pedestrian paths; the river is crossed with numerous multi-modal bridges; brightly lit cocktail cruise boats power up and down stream; and military helicopters in transport are a fairly common sight and sound. On the eastern outskirts of Seoul, the signs of eminent domain are evident as a bridge nears completion and farmland will soon make way for more apartment sprawl.
