Yeoudio Cherry Blossoms and Varekai

Yesterday Fred and I had a great Saturday. We woke up early and headed to Yeoudio Park in Seoul for the Cherry Blossom Festival. We arrived and there so were so many people. At one subway station we took the escalator down to the track and we were unable to get off of the escalator due to the amount of people waiting to get on the subway. Fred said that it looked like all of the people were fleeing the city. After a very crowded ride we arrived at Yeoudio. We walked around for hours looking at the cherry blossoms and admiring the Han River and Seouls skyline. We stopped at a restaurant and enjoyed the day by sitting outside (a real treat in Korea). In the late afternoon we headed to Coex mall for some Mexican food. After dinner we went to an English book store before we headed to see Varekai. Varekai is a Cirque du Soleil production and is touring in Korea. We had great seats and loved the show. We even ran into 3 old LCI teachers whom are now at a different school in Seoul. We had a great day and it was nice to enjoy the great spring weather. Tomorrow Kylle and Ray arrive! It shoud be a very exciting week in Suji!
