Cherry Blossoms and...

So this past weekend (yes we are a little behind on our posts!) we went to Jinhae, which every April has a Cherry Blossom Festival. It is a beautiful site to see, with Cherry Blossoms as far as the eye can see, so we thought we better check it out.

Before we loaded the bus to Jinhae, we thought we would stop and get some Starbucks first. Bad idea. With the Starbucks in our hand, we got on the bus, only to find it extremely packed with people, standing room only. So with only one hand available, we had to try to hang on for dear life. Now this is not s
ome calm relaxing bus ride. This was about a half hour of constant slamming on the brakes and swerving in and out of lanes. And with only one hand to hang on, it was nearly impossible to try to stay on your feet. If there is one thing I've noticed about Korea so far, it is the driving. They are some of the worst drivers I have seen, and bus drivers rank right up at the top of the list. But luckily, we made it in one piece.

It was definitely worth the trip. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom and looked amazing. But there was one thing that really made our trip...scroll down to find out!

That's not a corn "dog" in the literal sense, is it? Did you ask?

That's a good question! I sure hope not.
