진해: Cherry Blossom Festival

Finally spring is here!!! Got up early and felt so excited yesterday!Went down to Seobu Bus Terminal in Sasang and.... 



We saw that super long queue... Not for purchasing ticket but rather its the departure line for Jinhae; shaped like a coil! We waited for like an hour and though Spring is here but... the weather somehow still felt like winter; the cold wind. Thus, we got to Jinhae at about 12.30 p.m., since the journey from Busan to Jinhae takes about an hour; thank goodness there wasn't any traffic!

Once we reached there, we bought return tickets on the spot so that later we will not be caught in a line. Then we went to the eating place. 



We saw traditional beggars; people who dressed up as one. They sang and danced; bout what, I don't know. Then saw this amazing site...

*That long trail of stairs and 
also the cable car track. Thus we decided to
walk up and the view was good!
Half way climbing up. Yup, stopping to take a pic
while catching my breathe as I have 
bad stamina*

*The park on top*





*The beautiful scenery! I thought that Sakura/ Cherry Blossom
will have the pick-ish colour; like I see on photos and
TV but in reality,
it's actually white! I was rather disappointed =(*


*The end of the trail*


Then we proceeded to the Stadium for the Military Band show... and it was quite disappointing as I thought that the band will have a march in. Instead they just went on the stage and sat there... thus no cute guys to see; no eye-candy =(

*The military band were playing some classical piece
and also some famous TV shows; Poisedon... We left half-way 
cuz we were bored*

Then went to the Jinhae Marine Military Camp!!! Though it was a long walk but for me its worth it plus it's good exercise and the weather was nice! 


*Facilities in the camp*

*On the way to see Turtle Ship designed 
by Admiral Yi*

*The famous Turtle Ship*



And this is how the inside looked like...



*Pics with the marines*



Then also visited the Marine's Museum



*On the way out, you can leave your signature 
and according to my friend; the marine will report to Admiral Yi of your 
attendance* 

*Also bought a shirt for myself;
only cost 12 000 won*


Then... the fun part!!!

*Trying on Marine uniform!!!Its available for everyone
just pass them ur ID card*


Next destination... No idea what's this place called but its very famous during Cherry Blossom Festival as it have amazing scenery!!! Couples all wanna take pictures here... so be alert and fast to get a spot!!!















Oh, by the way... Plan your time properly when your going for this festival cuz... I'm pretty sure you don't want to end up like us 




We waited of about 2 hrs in the freezing cold weather!!! And how relieved were we when we sat down on our seat in the bus...
