Yeouido

Yeouido is home to many Korean business offices, including the Korea Stock Exchange, the LG Twin Towers and two major broadcasting stations KBS and MBC here in Seoul. It is also one of the many homes of the cherry blossom festival. This is the closest to where we live; along the island like plot of land next to the river, there is a 7-km road lined with 1,400 cherry trees ranging in age from 3 to 35 years old. We have had a week of cold so it wasn't too sunny out today; however, I was still able to get some fairly decent pictures. Also in Seoul are these lotus trees; they have large blossoms as shown to the right. They come in a white kissed with magenta and an ivory, the ivory seems to be more common here.
