Yeouido Cherry Blossoms Festival - 060414

On Sunday, we enjoyed spring (and the cherry blossoms it brings about) in all its gorgeous glory.

 Upon exiting the train station, we were greeting by a bunch of apartment buildings which strangely resembled those we have back home. I couldn't resist snapping a pic and sent it to my family, who thought this was in the outskirts of the city. On the contrary, we were right in the heart of it!

 Lots of people were out too, spending time with their family, friends and loved ones. And in this case, little furry one.


Selfies with the cherry blossom trees were a must! 
The wind was really strong since we're by the river and the sight of flower petals falling to the ground was really pretty.

Picked this up from the ground. We saw many locals plucking whole bunches of flowers off branches though. Not cool.

An example of what's referred to as "couple culture" here. Similar top, jacket, pants, shoes? Check.

Pretty pretty.


Helloooo little white flowers!

Lovely scenic Hangang River.

Rice cake in all kinds of flavours!

 Sun's starting to set in the distance and it starts to become crazy cold.

Met up with the rest and we spent some admiring Banpo Bridge's Rainbow Fountain. 

Said Rainbow Fountain. It was nice and calming just sitting there enjoying the lights and water.
