In Kungsträdgården in stockholm, the cherry trees were first planted in the 1950s as a gift from the Japanese government to the city of Stockholm. It’s a folk festival every year when the cherry trees burst out & for a few short, intense days at the turn of April – May the crowds are large & there’s pure joy in the air.
Visiting the Gyeongbokgung palace in Seoul today. People are wearing Hanbok which is a Korean traditional dress & refers to the traditional clothes worn by men, women & children.
Hanboks are colourful & typically consist of a fitted jacket & a wide skirt for women & trousers for men. In the past, the hanbok was worn daily but now it’s reserved for special occasions such as weddings & festivals.
