Video by Brian Roh, who rode nonstop at Rainbow Paradise, a 5.6 km ski slope at South Korea’s Yongpyong Ski Resort in January 2012. Looks cool, never knew that a single ride could take this long (close to seven minutes)…
Yongpyong Ski Resort is located in Pyeongchang County, Gangwon Province. It’s the oldest (since 1975), largest and one of the most popular ski resorts in Korea, running 28 slopes including five with international accredited standards.
It hosted the Alpine Ski World Cup a few times and will most probably hosts some events during the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang.

Screensaver from Japanese fashion house UNIQLO, which showcases various Japanese places and lifestyle in miniature form (with diorama illusion videography technique). Not as amusing as the dancing girls version, but pretty cool nonetheless…
Turn on the volume (the small icon at the middle) for full viewing pleasure. You can download the screensaver (or see it in better resolution) at UNIQLO’s website.

Video of a beautiful musical fountain at the Lotte Department Store in Busan, South Korea. Background music (for most part) is Abracadabra by pop group B.E.G.
The “graphic water fall” is a creation of Aquatique Show International, a French company specialises in modern water features. Guinness has recorded this as the world’s tallest indoor music fountain.
Going to visit this if I ever go to Busan. The city is not a high priority in my travel list though.
