Spring Cherry Blossoms

Cheongpung Lake

 Spring time in Seoul is beautiful. Cherry blossoms line the streets. The mountain sides return to their natural green color and people just seem more happy.  Now is the time if year that can help remind us why we are living in South Korea. The weather is amazing, perfect temperatures with a gentle breeze.

The most popular things to do this time of year are go to cherry blossom festivals and start day drinking outside convenient stores.

I know these are two extremely opposite things but they are both equally appreciated by natives and some foreigners.

This past week I traveled to Cheongpung Lake, near central South Korea.

There is a cherry blossom festival there at a large lake and many of the roads winding around the lake.  It was a beautiful sight. And the old school carnival games were fun. Especially the rock-paper-sissors game.

Around the city, now that its warm during the day and a comfortable cool in the evenings, many restaurants, bars and convenient  stores open their doors and let the outdoor dining begin. After work its nice to grab some fried chicken and beers with coworkers.

Talk soon. Im still alive e-mail if you need to get in touch.
