Spring did not truly exist in Korea this year. It went from bitterly cold, to mildly cold, to summer. However I did have a fun and eventful spring. It started by having Ian come in early April. He quit his job in Denver and moved to Korea until I am done in August. The first weekend he was here we went and saw the cherry blossoms at Yeouido Island here in Seoul. They were quite beautiful. We walked back home along the Han river.
We spent the weekend of my birthday celebrating with friends and eating lots of delicious food. Ian and I went out to a fancy Italian restaurant for my birthday were I had some of my favorite Italian dishes I have been missing. The next night we all went to us girls' favorite restaurant for Shabu Shabu where they brought me a delicious cake.
The next afternoon, Ian and I drove with Ben and Bri and hour outside of Seoul for some great BBQ. It is a little restaurant where you buy huge slabs of meat on a skewer and they cook it outside on big fires in large metal cans. It was absolutely delicious and a great afternoon.
A couple of weekends ago we went out to celebrate Ian and I's engagement. We celebrated with good food, some drinks, and finishing out the night at a noraebong (singing room). It was a great celebration with good friends. 
The next night we headed to the DJ festival of Seoul. They had music from all over the world, though mostly Korea and Japan. It was quite interesting and showed a very unique sub-culture of Asia. It was a cross between punk/rock/and techno...very interesting. It was a fun night and was the first weekend where it truly felt like summer.
Spring overall was a great few months filled with good food and good friends. There were many afternoons spent in the park walking Brianna's cat "Max", learning how to knit a hat (which was a big success) and enjoying spending time with Ian in Seoul.
