It was the night before Christmas, and all through the hagwon
Not a creature was stirring, especially with the dog gone (dinner). |

| I visited Korea back when Seoul had (I think) a total of 4 neon signs -- by law. They were huge ones, though. One of them was a giant Fuji Film neon billboard at the main Shinsa-dong intersection just after the Hannam Grand Bridge. |

| I think the lighting is great. Whenever I visit back to the states, I keep wondering how to introduce more neon to us yanks. Those people who profess to some standards of signage have to go. Bring on the neon. |

To me, the Korean signs are so much prettier than the billboards in the U.S.

I though you were referring to Incheon Airport which still has a huge Christmas display lit up in the center of the departure area.  |

Neon lights
Shimmering neon lights
And at the fall of night
This city's made of light

No, Brade Runner. |
No, Brade Lunner.
I love the neon! And yes, it is a bit Blade Runner-ish- but that was a beautiful movie, in a post-apocalyptic sort of way. |
