Cherry Blossoms #1

On Sunday, Saejin, Heidi, Rachel Lynn and I went with every other citizen of Korea to Yeouido to take in the Cherry Blossom Festival. The place was packed so meeting Heidi and Rachel Lynn was a problem. To make it easier we decided to meet by the huge Korean flag but getting there was tricky. We had to dodge new roller bladers, cyclists looking one way while riding another and random kids chasing basketballs. I saw at least four crashes along the way.
From the park we walked up to the Korean Assembly where the government meet. It's not a far walk but Rachel Lynn and I lost Saejin and Heidi as they were more interested in food than getting to the trees. While waiting for them RL and I took our pictures among some blocks of art.

There was an empty security post so Saejin and I manned it until kindly asked to move along by the unappreciative policeman.
