A winning weekend

It was a great weekend for a few reasons. On Saturday we went to Duryu Park to join in the Children's Day celebrations. There were plenty of activities going on, but too many people jammed together to take part in any of them. Nevertheless, we enjoyed a nice stroll through the beautiful park, keeping in mind it's the only green area we've seen in Daegu, besides the 20 square foot patch of grass at the playground next to our villa. It was uncomfortably hot all weekend and it's quite apparent that the much-talked-about Daegu heat and humidity has officially arrived and will only intensify as we move into summer.
The famous Woobang Tower, the highest tower in Korea, is bang in the centre of Daegu in Woobang Towerland. This view is from Duryu Park. Below is a picture of what appears to be a cartoon made of wood, but it's actually seen as a guardian in Korean folklore.
Here is a nice view of our immediate neighborhood with the rest of Yongsan in the background. Our villa is off to the right.
