Scary / Pretty Fireworks in Busan
I pushed my brother into the ocean because waiting for the fireworks was so boring. He got soaking wet. My father jumped into the ocean after him! My mother took a picture. It was funny.
When the fireworks started, it looked like flowers blooming. The sound was like a bomb, but it looked very beautiful. However, the smell was like burning. We could see the beach and the fireworks at the same time. So I liked that, but sometimes it was scary because what if that fire fell on me? I think that fire is very very hot like the sun. I knew that the fire wouldn’t fall on me, but it was still scary. Anyway, it looked so beautiful. When you take a trip to Busan, I recommend watching the fireworks at Gwangalli beach. It can be a special memory for you.
