Snow is falling in Seoul. But flowers will bloom at last.
It's the end of March. But it's been snowing heavily all day in Seoul, South Korea. I'm afraid that spring flowers might be frozen. T.T I hope all spring flowers will come over this cold weather and bloom at last.
For your reference, that movie below was taken around GangNam subway station in Seoul.

Soft tofu stew tastes good.
Yesterday, it was very bad. The sky was covered with the yellow sand. We had yellow sand rain all night long. But today, it's very fine. The sky was very blue.
My wife and I went to downtown of Seoul to have lunch with my brother, today. We arrived 15 minutes early in front of TapGol Park so we walked around it. Wow~ we found that spring is coming in spite of the crazy yellow sand. How beautiful those yellow buds!
We had lunch in a famous restaurant 'JiRiSan' at InSaDong. It's famous for their good foods and not using any artificial flavor enhancer. We had soft tofu stew, kimchi soft tofu stew and bean paste stew. They really taste good. ^^

good restaurant 'On the 6' near HongIk Univ. of Seoul
There is a food restaurant 'On the 6' near HonkIk Univ. of Seoul. The name of On the 6 was made because it's on the 6th floor. The interior of On the 6 is really nice. They used Vietnamese furnitures for their interior decoration. I'm sure you think you're in a East Asia country as soon as you arrive at On the 6.
They serve some good Italian foods sucs as green salad, special seadfood pizza and steak. My husband and I enjoyed their steak. When I had a piece of steak in my mouth, it got to be melt down. It really tastes good.

I'm afraid of yellow sand.
It was very clody all day long. The yellow sand is really bad today. We had bad wind like yellow sand from China. It's said that sand-wind isn't good to our throat, nose and etc. Earth gets to be changed to desert more and more. I'm hearing of the sound of yellow sand-wind. It's terrible.
I hope that people protect their environment and prevent the Earth from being hotter and hotter. I just hope so.

DeokSuGung Palace in Seoul
DeokSuGung Palace is the symbolic seat of modern Korean and center of modern Seoul.
For sheer ease of access, you can't beat DeokSuGung, located right next to City Hall in the heart of modern downtown Seoul. At 6pm, amid the bell sound from its neighboring Anglican Church of Korea, the palace turns even more graceful.
It was the main palace during the DaeHanJeGuk period of late JoSeon Dynasty. After the Japanese Invasion of Korea burnt down all other palaces in Seoul, the king took over the then residence of a crown prince to stay.
The next king GwangHaeGun promoted it to a status of palace naming as GyungWunGung in 1611. GwangHaeGun then moved to the restored ChangDeokGung leaving GyungWunGung as a sceondary one.
Later, with the start of DaeHanJeGuk, Emperor GoJong chose it as his main palace. When he stepped down from the throne, the palace was renamed as the current DeokSuGung praying for his long life.
DeokSuGung are embellished with spring cherry blossoms and yellow gingko leaves in fall. Couples love to walk around the stone palace walls enjoying the unique feel of the palace.
It's very easy to get there by a subway, City Hall subway station No.2 Green Line or No.1 Red Line.
