Last Saturday Jeong hee, Manda and I went to near where the parliament buildings are in Seoul to see the Cherry Blossom Festival. It was a lot of fun, I couldn't believe the amount of people there. We walked for quite a while looking at the blossoms and then watched a traditional Korean show. It was great, we even got to sit in the front row. They had mats all laid out right in front of the stage and no one was sitting on them, then one of the coordinators for the show motioned that we could sit there. I'm not even kidding when I say maybe 5 seconds later there was a stampede of people racing to sit on the mats after they saw us sit down! We ended up hardly having room to cross our legs but were lucky to be able to see so well. The show ended up being quite long so we left after about an hour and 15 minutes because I was hungry. I know, surprise, surprise! haha... On our way to leave we were stopped by a t.v crew and asked if we would do an interview! More on my television debut in the next post!
This Saturday Jeong hee and I met in Meongdong to go to Mount Nam (or Nam San in Korean). We took the cable car to the top of the mountain which was fun. I'm not great with heights so I was a little apprehensive, but it was okay. It was a pretty short ride and not a super tall mountain so that helped! Then we walked down the mountain to look at all the blossoms. They were amazing here, in some places they covered the road in an archway.
Here are a few pics, as usual there will be more on Ringo, enjoy!

The cherry blossoms are beautiful, such a soft delicate pink. Do they have any fragrance, Carrie? It looked like a beautiful spring day to be outside enjoying nature. Lucky you!
