Tancheon
Tancheon, a tributary of Seoul's Han River, is a stream beginning in the city of Yongin in Gyeonggi-do and flowing through Seongnam and then between the districts of Songpa-gu and Gangnam-gu in Seoul before entering flowing into the Han River. It has a total length of 35.6 kilometres.
Winding through the district of Bundang, the stream is one of the widely recognised symbols of the borough. All streams in the Bundang area flow towards the Tancheon. The area also serves as a large park and there are paths for both walkers and cyclists on each bank with occasional foot bridges joining the two sides in addition to the bridges built for vehicle traffic. Along the paths there are many benches as well as exercise equipment. The whole area is extremely popular among local residents.
The stream empties into the Han River by the Olympic Stadium in Seoul.
History
The Tancheon has been known by many other names, such as Geomcheon (검천, 儉川), Heomcheon (험천, 險川), Meonae (머내), Cheonhocheon (천호천, 穿呼川), and Jancheon (잔천, 鵲川). The word Tancheon (탄천, 炭川) itself is composed of the Chinese characters for charcoal and stream, so a direct translation would be Charcoal Stream. In pure Korean it would be pronounced Sunnae (숯내->순내), another name for the stream that has gone by. The origins of this name can be found in Korean folklore, as is explained below.

Donation
by: AcceptIt's way past noon - I just woke up
Man - I feel like shit
One drink too much - took me right out
How the hell did I get home
Was still in bed when I heard the door
Somebody kept on knockin'
And there she was - neat as a pin
Smile on the face - staring down at me
There she was - there she was
Asking for a little donation
There she was - there she was
Shakin' more than my foundations
So I asked her in - to my surprise
She didn't waste no time
She took off her dress - kicked off her shoes
And threw away her glasses
She was here - she said - to save my soul
Asking for a little donation
I gave her all I had to give
Waiting for my salvation
There she was - there she was
Praying for a little donation
On her knees - there she was
Shakin' more than my foundations
- there she was
Begging for a little donation
Down on her knees -
She rocked me down to my foundations - down to my foundations
It's all for a good purpose
But it ain't for charity
It's all for a good purpose
She came for money - and gave her dignity
C.o.d. - chanty - no charge
C.o.d. - chanty - no fees
C.o.d. - charity
C.o.d. - charity
C.o.d. - charity - she came - she saw- she conquered
C.o.d. - charity
C.o.d. - charity - she came - she saw - she had it from me
C.o.d. - charity
C.o.d. - charity - down
C.o.d. - charity - down on me
C.o.d. - charity - oh lord
C.o.d. - charity - she's sucking out the devil, the devil in me
You know - I'm good
Do you like my holy donation
Just call on me - when ever you want
And rock me down to my foundations
- there she was
Asking for a little donation
Don't ever stop - don't spill a drop
