Good ZenKimchi article here re: how to celebrate the arrival of spring in South Korea. But if you use a VPN, as I do, you'll likely have to turn your VPN off to see Joe's site. (Mileage may vary. I use SurfShark VPN, which won't let me see Joe's blog.)
Of note:
Keep in mind the following caveats:
- The cherry blossoms tend to go away earlier than the officials predict
- Nature is a prankster. Many times a rainstorm has barged in during peak blossoming and stripped the trees.
My tip about cherry blossoms is to avoid the popular places, like Yeouido. They are extremely overcrowded–dangerously so. And there are assholes who shake the trees to shower their girlfriends with blossoms, stripping the trees of their beauty for everyone else.
