And it has done so without taking too drastic measures, such as locking down entire cities or closing borders to bring its epidemic under control. “South Korea is a democratic republic, we feel a lock-down is not a reasonable choice,” says Kim Woo-Joo, an infectious disease specialist at Korea University. Behind its success so far has been the most expan...

Spring is a very special time in South Korea because it’s when the cherry blossom trees start to burst into bloom across the entire country. Cherry blossoms are a symbolic flower of the spring, a time of renewal and the fleeting nature of life. Every where you go in Korea, you can capture the fascinating scenery of cherry blossoms: along the riverside, near traditional Korean houses, parks, even on random dull streets.  Typically, the flowers start blooming across Korea in late March to April, depending on the location and each type of flower, blessing everyone with its brief beauty.  As the blooms last for only about 10 days, many international visitors, as well as locals, plan in advance when and where to travel inside Korea to catch the cherry blossoms.
