Flowers n'at last weekend in Suncheon.

Here are some photos taken in Suncheon last weekend. I had planned to take in the cherry blossoms, but unlike last year's beautiful display, they were only about half-way out when March rolled around.





Traffic was backed up near the cafe Hwasoomok because of a little festival on that day.



The sounds of noisy amateur singing filled the west side of the city.



Traffic thinned out on the other side.



One of my favorites:




A new bar in a new building, this is Suncheon's latest German-named hof. You'll see the "English Virus" hagwon to the right.



One of the reasons you should come to Suncheon is to eat Hansot (한솥) doshirak (like bento). Yeah, they have these places all over Korea, but they didn't have them in Gangjin so I went through some withdrawal in 2006-07. My favorite is "Chicken Mayo" (치킨마요), which comes in a box like this:



Inside is chicken, rice, and some type of noodle. You get a packet of soy sauce, a packet of mayonaise, and you mix it all together. It sounds nasty to describe, but it's very good. Actually lots on the menu is good.



Finished.



The Hansot is across the street from Suncheon National University. There's another one down the street from Suncheon First College.

And the evening concluded with a trip to Yogerpresso (shut up) for a waffle. Waffles and coffee is a popular combination nowadays, and you'll find it at a lot of other coffee shops in town.



It was okay. It wasn't bad. I'll probably try it again later. But I was spoiled badly when I went to "Coffee Factory" in Seoul last December, and nothing will ever compare.
