Yes, the skyscrapers and massive apartment buildings are inescapable in Seoul. Seoul is a city that doesn't really have any large CBD like typical cities, but is rather lots of clusters of buildings spread out across the city. Me too! The cherry blossoms are one of the most beautiful and cool parts of my time here. It's almost like the start of the 'happy' half of the year (spring and summer), and the cherry blossoms are telling us this! At least that's how I interpret it :)
