Cherry Blossom Season!




On a recent, leisurely Saturday afternoon, spring suddenly arrived.
Granted, I'd have preferred her late entrance to be a bit more flamboyant, but I was still happy to congregate in Yeouido with four girlfriends.
I've been not-so-patiently anticipating warmer weather since, um, February, so the sight of flowers, the Han river and tandem bikes resolved my spring fever.
Yeouido's cherry blossom festival is where Seoul's couples flock to take pictures under the canopy of blossoms on the three-lined street leading to the river. In Korea, girls with blossoms in their hair symbolize craziness, a rumor we all confirmed this weekend. Spring is here and I couldn't be happier (see balloon).
