I've been waiting over six months to see Korea's famous cherry blossoms in all their glory. This week will be the best time all year to enjoy the ephemeral blossoms, as they blow away with wind or rain almost as quickly as they appear. Last Friday I walked to work among bare trees. By Monday, the streets along KBS were lined with beautiful, bountiful cherry blossoms. Definitely a sight to behold.

Wednesday was Election Day, so most Koreans had the day off . . . voter turnout was only 46% because most of them were checking out the cherry blossoms, not the polls!

Street food hits Yeouido Park!
