This stream was once a highway. The city dug it up and now it runs through downtown, just like it had done for centuries. This stream was one of the reasons Seoul became the capital city and was considered a source of the cities power. That power is trying to be reharnessed.

An old bridge that was found and resurrected. However, the archeolgist only had a short period to tag everything so there were mistakes when it was reconstructed.

Notice some are upside down.

This "statue" was amazing. She never moved! I gave her a dollar and she came to life. She slowly put down her pot and gave me "some water" and then wanted a kiss! sooooo cute! everyone laughed and snapped photos like crazy. YEAH! look at the foreigner and the crazy statue woman.
