ALissA Gets Arrested in The National Museum!!!

This time of year, Korea is absolutely, and most splendidly beautiful! Spring is here and ones senses continually being barraged by things wonderfully beautiful is an everyday occurrence. Of particular beauty are the trees in full bloom, the Magnolia, and Cherry Blossom are two of the most wonderful for the eyes and the nose.
We were about to leave the National Museum in Kyongju, when we were drawn to one particular Magnolia tree full with white blossoms. We snapped some pictures of it, Alissa thought it was so beautiful that she needed a souvenir. She reached for flower covered branch and plucked a unsuspecting blossom right off!
I told Alissa that I didn't think one was permitted to pick flowers in the National Museum grounds... It turns out I was totally right about that. The police that were on guard at the museum soon approached us and started to yell at us in Korean. Of course we weren't just going to sit there and take it so we yelled back... THIS WAS NOT A GOOD MOVE... They cuffed Alissa and took her to a small room somewhere... and then... april fools... that's right this was all just made up... I hope everyone back home has a fun filled day!
