Yeouido Cherry Blossom Festival

This is a very belated post, but if you ever find yourself in Seoul in April, go to the Cherry Blossom Festival! It usually runs for a week and the dates are tentative every year as the fullest bloom differs. This year the dates were 10-14 April. I recommend going around the beginning as there's lots of performances and events although that means a huge crowd. I went at the beginning and at the end of the period, the latter being pretty much empty (as it was drizzling) but a better chance to take photos!
The festival involved food stalls, artists offering portrait drawings (which were really good) and lots of buskers. The atmosphere is really beautiful, especially with cherry blossom petals raining down.
How to get there: Best way is to take the subway train to Yeouido Station (Line 5 or 9). You will see a whole hoard of people, and it's literally right near the station. You can also get off National Assembly Station (Line 9, Exit 1). It's also right near the Han River, where a group of us had a picnic with ice-cream, chicken and beer.

 Sorry for the really long absence but I've been travelling and moved out of my dorms! I will be in Korea until early August. My semester at Yonsei has ended, but I have lots more posts lined up!
