It’s Springtime!
Arriving in Gwangju without having to be quarantined really excites me, as it’s my first time in this city, the weather is great, and it's springtime! Plans and places are already written down on my list, including Jinhae or Jeju, but due to the pandemic, many festivals have been canceled (again) this year. I decided to stroll around the area, and Gwangju surprisingly offers an amazing scenic view of cherry blossoms. There was one moment that I literally froze just because I was so amazed with the spectacular view in front of my eyes. In that exact moment, I realized how lucky I was, with no need to go far away and no need to spend more money, because just a couple steps away, I could enjoy this beautiful spring effortlessly.
