I made a poster related to the Seoul Kimchi Making and Sharing Festival 2014. The photo that I used originally taken from english.seoul.go.kr. The reason I used that photo because it represents the main activity about the Festival and it shows that a lot of people joined as the participants of Kimchi Sharing and Making Festival. I think people will be able to understand about the Festival. After that, they will see the location, date and time clearly because it shows right after the photo. Cheers.

I Like Moonlight Rainbow Fountain in Banpo Bridge because it shows us the beautiful rainbow colour at night. We can enjoy the scenery of Seoul city at night as the background together with Banpo Bridge. First Mission for Global Seoul-Mate in 2013 By: Xiaofen INFORMATION: The Banpo Bridge (반포대교) is a major bridge in downtown Seoul over the Han River, South Korea, connecting the Seocho and Yongsan districts. The Banpo Bridge is on top of Jamsu Bridge, forming a "double deck" bridge. During periods of high rainfall, the Jamsu Bridge is designed to submerge as the water level of the river rises, as the lower deck lies close to the waterline. This deck incorporates pedestrian and bicycle paths that provide easy access to the Banpo Hangang Park from the north side of the river. Banpo Bridge is a girder bridge and was completed in 1982. The Moonlight Rainbow Fountain (달빛무지개 분수) is the world's longest bridge fountain that set a Guinness World Record with nearly 10,0...
