A close up of another bulbul, this time in a blooming magnolia tree in a neighborhood nearby Jamsil
Seoul, April
A brown-eared bulbul, one of my favorite local birds right now, is picking away at the flowers in its favorite tree near Seokchon lake
Seoul, April
The lake is also adjacent to Lotte Tower, one of the tallest buildings in Asia and the tallest in Korea, seen here through the cherry blossoms
The circuit winds around Seokchon lake, where many of the cherry trees and willows extend out over the water.
Seoul, April
Back in Korea, the cherry trees are blooming around Seoul. Up by Olympic Park, at Seokchon lake, there's an easy circuit that folks can walk around and see some nice blooms. A bit of overcast sky in the morning kept it less crowded than in years past.

South Korea’s top court ousts president.
Korea’s constitutional court has unanimously upheld parliament’s impeachment of Yoon Suk-yeol over his brief but spectacular flirtation with martial law in December. That means Korea must now hold a presidential election within 60 days. #korea #SouthKorea

Toronto Star · Donald Trump is choosing team authoritarian. It’s time to kick them out of the G7 and start something new
The consequences for Yoon are varied. He's now open to be tried for a whole range of crimes, including treason. He's got to leave the official residences, has no staff and, most deliciously coldblooded of all, can't be buried in any official cemetery.
They don't even want his corpse hanging around.

Ok, this is really good, Yoon is out. All justices agreed, no hint of dissent. Now to the spaces outside the court, assembly, etc. — hopefully Yoon's fashy little minions will go home peacefully and have themselves a nice long cry in private.
New election to be held by June 3.

www.koreatimes.co.kr · South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol impeached
Yup, Yoon is out. Impeachment upheld.
Rapid translation of Korean legal language is rough, but this stream is reporting on the Yoon verdict in real time. And it's looking like Yoon is out:
@TheDialecticalCommunist@social.marxist.networkCapitalism is killing South Korea
Well, it'll be interesting how many far-right supporters show up with American flags for whatever happens with impeached President Yoon tomorrow, given how badly these tariffs are going to screw with the export-heavy economy here

RFE/RL · EU Aims To Elevate Ties With Central Asia At Landmark Samarkand Summit
On April 2nd 2023 I was landing in South Korea for a night layover on my way to Japan 
I met with my Korean friends for a BBQ. It was fantastic 
The only thing I do not recommend is drinking upon landing, the jet lag takes longer to go away for me when I do
