The 2009 cherry blossom festival on Yeoido island was better than sitting at home all day. After learning that these cherry blossom are not that same ones that come from trees that produce cherries, I was slightly discouraged. Luckily, it still worked out for the best. The best news from this glorious message from the gods is that winter has ended and spring is starting/right around the corner. Namely, after the horrible cold with windy conditions, anything different is welcome.
Heading out to Yeoido is the normal excursion that is required when you set sail from Yeonsu-Gu, Incheon. After the obligatory 1.5 hours subway tour we were greeted to a nice Han River walk from Dangsan Station surrounded by tons of other people on the same pilgrimage. The throngs of people aside, there were vendors, performances and cherry trees for everyone. I head out with several coworkers and I believe everyone had an enjoyable time. It was nice to see the Korean National Assembly and business area. Given it was a Saturday, there were only really tourists around, but it was great to be out and about with other people.
