Yeouido Spring Flower Festival and A Visit to Kyunghee University!

Over the weekend, Sagar and I went to the Yeouido Spring Flower Festival on the island of Yeouido, which is in the middle of the Han River that runs through Seoul. This was the tenth annual festival to celebrate the coming of the cherry blossoms, which means the official beginning of spring!

The festival took place near the National Assembly building, which is a beautiful government property on the island of Yeouido.

  

There were so many beautiful trees and so many people at the festival! The streets surrounding the National Assembly building were closed off so that people could walk through. 

photo cred to Sagar for this one:

There were tents with various instruments--bongos, cymbals, drum sets, a piano that was played by walking on it, and more. Kids (and kids at heart) could just walk in and start making music!

There were also street performers spinning plates and doing a traditional Korean dance.

We walked down to the Han River to enjoy the view and get away from the crowd.

This was such a beautiful festival, and I'm so glad we had a chance to go!

This weekend, I also had a chance to visit Kyunghee University with my friend Sunny! This university campus was hands down the most beautiful campus I have ever seen. 

I'm so lucky to live in such a beautiful and interesting place! :)
