Cherry Blossom Festival at the Joo!

Festival? check. Joo aka the zoo? check. Cherry blossoms? uhh... TBD.

Went to the Seoul zoo this afternoon with a friend and her friends, but we didn't really see any CBs, despite advertisements in the subway... lies!! Guess we'll have to research other festivals.. and make sure the flowers have actually bloomed before we travel anywhere far. Although we didn't find CBs, we did find a few flowers at the botanical garden inside the zoo:





Saturday I went to Hongik University, or the area known as Hongdae with a coworker to check out their arts open market. Lots of cool jewelry and arts & crafts for decent prices. Bought a ring; will try to post a photo later.

Speaking of photos, my camera has decided to revolt against me. If anyone knows anything about cameras, help would be much appreciated. I can view my pictures, but not take them. An error message pops up instead and the lens keep going in and out. The magic of Google suggests there's something wrong with the lens and/or something in them (perhaps dirt), but the tips they suggest to clean has done nothing. It's a 4-year-old camera, so perhaps it's a hint I need to upgrade... ??
