Another shameless video promotion by myself, yes.

Found some Cherry Blossoms in our neighborhood in Seoul today. Took some pictures and some video. Video is now up on youtube.

I kinda like having them a few minutes walk away from the apartment. Practically no one there, whereas places like Yeouido are packed right now.

This is like saying "I found an acorn."

I know, I know.. it's so hard to please the pretentious 'I've already seen everything in Korea and I'm way too cool to enjoy anything here anyway' crowd.

Also, where I come from, finding an acorn would be outrageous. One in a million. "Where did this ludicrous acorn come from?!" I would say, dropping to my knees, "Where, God? Where?!"

Yes, there are lots of cherry blossoms trees here. They are still cool. There are lots of them precisely because they are so cool.

An SSP (shameless self-promotion/plug) or another bloke from Kansas.

Shameless self promotion. Says so in the first line. Smile

Although I did stay in Kansas for a while years ago.

Although I didn't check out that video for myself, I wonder if someone counted how many 'yaepudas" could be heard in the clip.

None. Very Happy Very few people there and I played some piano over the top of it, anyway.

Now, at the Yeouido thing this weekend.. totally different story. Also heard the standard giant cross waving guy screaming about the Jesus.
