Butt Goat

Cherry Blossom season came and went in a matter of a few weeks. I didn't end up getting to a cherry blossom festival as I chose to go to the crab festival instead. And cherry blossoms are only in their prime for 1 week before they drop their petals. On a windy day, it looks like its snowing flowers.
.
Anywho, I took a little hike one day after work to get some good cherry blossom pictures before it was too late. I won't comment much since the pictures speak for themselves...
I also lucked out that the sunset was just beautiful that night!





Picture of Dongbaek (part of Haeundae - just west of the beach).

Another picture of Dong Baek... the small peninsula (green lump of land) to the left of the buildings is called Dong Baek Island. It's a peninsula but whatev. The point is, the top of the hill is where I meet my yoga class Sunday afternoons for a little peace and serenity (and a killer ab workout).


As the sun set, the path I was walking on was illuminated by tiny little lanterns. Cute! (and practical!)

P.S. Cherry Blossom in Korean is pronounced Butt Goat. Really???? That is disappointing.

  1. Beautiful pictures, Em! And by the way, I had another laugh-out-loud moment when I read the part about Cherry Blossom = Butt Goat. You're hilarious!

  2. Butt Goat! I love it!

    Had any good bibimbap yet?

    The lantern path looks and sounds amazing. Keep the posts and images coming...

  3. I love bibimbop. It's my favorite Korean dish so far. I really like it when they put Bulgogi (pork) in it. And I can get for only 3,000won... $2.00 :)
