The Korea Meterological Administration says Jeollanam-do can expect cherry blossoms from April 2nd, about a week later than in 2010. There are several "spots" in Jeollanam-do regionally-known for its cherry blossoms, and though Suncheon isn't really on that list I think it belongs there because of its beauty and its visitor-friendliness.
More on cherry blossoms in Suncheon.
Several flower festivals in Jeollanam-do this April have been cancelled due to foot-and-mouth disease. These include the Yeongchuisan Azalea Festival (영취산진달래축제) in Yeosu, the Wangin Culture Festival (영암왕인문화축제) in Yeongam, the Seomjin River Cherry Blossom Festival (섬진강변 벚꽃축제) in Gurye, and the Yudalsan Flower Festival (유달산꽃축제) in Mokpo.
Like other cancelled festivals based on natural events, these blossoms won't be cancelled, just some of the accompanying festivities, so don't hesitate to go and take in the sights.

Hey Brian, My name is Stephanie from New Zealand. I was doing some research online and I happened to see your articles. I'm planning on applying for a teaching job in a public school, preferably in Seoul. I was thinking about applying straight with EPIK, but since you seem very experienced, do you mind giving me some pointers? Is it better to reply through a recruitment agency? If so, can you please suggest a reliable one to me? What are the best ways to apply for a position in a public school? Hope you won't mind answering my questions. Cheers!
Hello Chao,
Thanks for the visit. You would be better off getting current teachers' experiences by reviewing a big messageboard like Waygook.org. These sort of questions come up pretty frequently, and since I've been out of Korea over a year, it'd be good to get up-to-date information from teachers there now. For instance, see today's thread "Recruiter or Apply Directly?"
