Every year in late March and the beginning of April, the most beautiful trees I've ever seen blossom here in Korea. Cherry blossom season. The time to enjoy these beauties is quite short, usually lasting from about a week and a half to just a few days. It was a shame that, this year, it was a pretty short cherry blossom season, with a cold front that came through coupled with some rain, but I did have a few chances to enjoy their beauty.

Sometimes I wondered if, because I was a foreigner that just stood in awe while everyone else looks at me like I'm an idiot. But we visited Keimyung University, a local university only about 20 minutes from my house. When we got there, we realized that it wasn't only us that thought they were so beautiful. Koreans were lined up everywhere taking full blown photo shoots. Not only was it wonderful seeing the beauty of the trees, but also great entertainment watching all the things these Koreans do to get pictures. They sit in the middle of roads, they climb in bushes and they do mass jumping pictures. It's hilarious. There really is no describing the beauty of these trees in words, nor with pictures, but I'll upload a few anyway.
Beautiful Keimyung University
Don't worry about cars...
Me and my friends can't even coordinate 4 people jumping at the same time....
Of course some people needed the token picture with Wagooks
