About once a month, the teachers in my office, the 교과실, are allowed to leave campus in the afternoon for a "team-building" experience. I recently posted about our trip to an art museum--a couple of times last year we went to see a movie. Anyway, yesterday, we went to Seonyudo Park. Some things that end with -do in Korean are islands, and that is the case here. But don't get it confused with the one in Gunsan 군산 , on the west coast. This Seonyudo 선유도 is a small island in the middle of the Han River, north of Yeouido; it was once the site of a water purification plant, but today the entire island is a park.
Walking across the pedestrian overpass to the island has some good vistas of the city,

As I've noted, it's springtime, and there were lots of blooms (azalea, peach and lilac, not sure about the next one offhand):
The last one above is a Japanese red maple--it's always like that.
The park has numerous features, including an aquatic garden, a couple of greenhouses, and this:
And of course, walking paths. Here are my co-workers ahead of me on one of them.
Finally, a pic of me in the greenhouse.
