Death by Cherry blossoms!
So its spring and all the cherries are all out in pink all over town, oh and the cherry blossoms too. Its a good time of the year, im not wearing 5 layers of clothes anymore and the heat of summer is a distant concern. Ive been out everywhere checking out the blossoms, Yeouido, Dongjak cemetery, and today I walked the mountain near where I stay. Its also the campus of Seoul National University. Oh and I appeared in a newspaper article, my co-teacher showed me. It was for the trip i took to see Bekje cultural heritage sites. The article also features a barcode, not sure if this is possible in South Africa, but I doubt it. You use your smartphone to scan the bar-code and then it will show you a video on your phone about the article. Well, I was featured in that video too. I sound like an idiot but hey at least not too many people will see it. The barcode thing is quite nifty though, I see it everywhere here on posters etc. So if you want extra info you just take a picture of it with your phone. I like the innovation here in Korea, little things always surprise me here. For example you get energy drink flavored gum, useful for when you missed your cup of coffee in the morning. I went to a mall called Time-square, beautiful futuristic looking place. They have a 4D cinema with the biggest screen in the world. A 4d cinema makes use of 3D movies with moving seats and other effects and even smell. I cant wait to try that. I joined a boxing gym, its just round the corner from me and a great way to get fit and learn a skill. I guess thats about all I can report today, im gonna go to bed, my legs need rest.
