경주 Cherry Blossoms


Sunday headed to see more Cherry Blossoms in Gyeongju.  I'm coming down with the flu, but a painkiller and some food sorted me out.  Got a bus and then a taxi out to the lake. 



Traffic was so bad ended up abandoning the cab and walking the rest of the way.  


Enjoyed the hundreds of Cherry Blossoms, a sudden gust of wind would make it almost look like snow.
Met up with Adon and Olivia, and headed round past a singing monk to a pier by the water.  


You can see the Gyeongju World theme park from there.  Lined up and went onto a big 4 man duck shaped peddle boat.  We snuck on beers and cake and proceeded to play boat dodgems with some of the Koreans.  After that we had a picnic, listened to some music and drank shoe 막걸리.  


Adon picked up a big pile of them to throw at people as we drove by.  People were surprised at first, but really didn't seem to mind a few extra Cherry Blossoms falling on them!


I had a quick dinner with Sophie downtown and picked up my microwave and vacuum cleaner (second hand thanks to Yumi leaving).
