On Saturday, we braced the hoards of Koreans and foreigners alike to attend the Cherry Blossom Festival in the Yeouido area of Seoul. It was a great day! Sunshine, cotton candy, pink blossoms everywhere....nice to finally feel some spring weather! The streets around the National Assembly building were lined with cherry trees that were all in full bloom. Just strolling around, checking out the booths (like glassblowing, kite making, etc) was relaxing and fun. We did get yelled at by an old lady (adjumma) for picking a couple of the blossoms. She told us, "They are for everyone." However, when we looked around everyone had a branch or two...even the Koreans. So we just got bullied, I think. It happens! We ate dinner at a fabulous restaurant in Gangnam where all the food was on conveyor belts and you just picked the plate up as it went along. Really fun! It's been a wonderful weekend....I don't want it to end!
