Another beautiful Spring weekend and cherry blossoms are in full bloom.  This was a very exciting time and perhaps my favorite seasonal point in the year.  It isn’t just me or other foreigners that are captivated by these beautiful trees.  Tones of Koreans are just as excited to take pictures of them.  There is something about these beautiful white and pink flowers that make you want to take unjustifieable amounts of pictures  like you never have before.  It is one of the most romantic things I can think of.  Walking through a canopy of white fluffy flowers as they fall to the ground like snow.  So, Eric and I spent the weekend outside.  We started with a picnic in the park taking pictures of the pretty blossoms.  We then headed into Seoul and enjoyed some beers on the waterfront.  This plan was almost sabotaged by the fact that we couldn’t find any public bathrooms at first.  Thank God we did or we would not have been able to enjoy our beverages.   At sunset we then hopped on a boat cruise of the Han River.  This river basically runs  straight through the center of Seoul.  It is not used for water traffic or taxi purposes so anyone is allowed on there with boats which is pretty cool.  There were people on jet skies and people tubing and water skiing.  The boat ride was great, and it was a perfect sunset.  Afterwards we headed to an Indian food buffet and had a wonderful end to a successful day.
