WHICH IS THE HIGHEST FOUNTAIN IN THE WORLD?

Do you know where the tallest fountain is in the world?

I originally didn’t and that’s because I am not that educated.

But I’ll give you some hints:

• It’s in the middle east
• A country with a lot of oil
• Quite conservative

I guess my hints don’t really help that much huh?

Alright let me give you some more tips.  Take a look at this picture, recognize it?

I guess it doesn’t help still.

OKAY.

The highest fountain the world is located in JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA!

Truth be told, I did not know I was staring at the world’s highest fountain, because Choi doesn’t do his damn research before traveling.

That’s how I roll you know?

But Choi, how did you find this place then?  

Good question.

I asked concierge, and he told me to go to the Corniche.

…what the hell is a Corniche?

“It’s like a beach”

Okayyyyyy….look at this shit, does this look like a beach to you?

I DON’T THINK SO!

It’s more like a water front. So please do not misguide your guests Mr. Concierge!

Facts about the fountain.

I guess this would be a super dumb post if I don’t list some facts out for you right? Okay, let’s see what the internet says:

• The fountain is called King Fahd’s Fountain
• Fountain was doncated by King Fahd – duh
• Maximum height is about 260 meters (853 ft) – seems like wikipedia cannot confirm this though
• King Fahd fountain is located in the 30 KM coastal Corniche which houses a lot of resorts.
• The fountain uses water from the red sea
• Over 500 high-intensity spotlights were used – That is a shit load of spot lights
• The fountain starts spewing water at 6PM – I didn’t know this, almost fucking missed that damn show
• Finally, this fountain is located in the Jeddah Corniche – More pictures of the Corniche will be posted later, hope I remember to link it here!)

I began to take some damn artistic photos.

Look at those sexy filters haha.

Original photos were quite dark, so I said fuck it, let’s add black and white filters to it.

What? I can filter whatever I want, however I want.

Loved my two hour relaxing walk by the Corniche. Walking like a boss with my emo music blasting into my ear.

Saw a lot of locals just chilling too. Yes Saudi Arabia is a conservative country, but people here still know how to have a good time!

Fuck yeah!
