Reasons for the pause

and so it goes on.

hope to be back to the beauties of the smallest details of Korea. 

I've been doing some things - going outside of the country - realizing this and that, pondering what nots and why I bother even writing my thoughts down (this blog).

but I guess it's nice writing those things down and looking at them down the road and realize how much you've changed.  I think change is indeed the constant in life.

my beliefs, thoughts and values have changed a lot.  a lot.

and some can say that I'm fickle - actually I am in some ways.  I just listen and do what hits me at the moment.  there's a lot of wrong in that - but most of the time, it fits me the best.  I don't like regretting things later. 

so bare with the changes - and that will be pretty much what's constant in this blog.

toila!

Summer 2015 is a hot sauna type of summer!

It's been so hot here in Korea this summer.  We've gotten "government text messages" to warn us about "heat strokes" and its dangers etc.. at least they are taking this more seriously than the more serious problem - "air pollution"(pm 2.5 - let's not even get started!). 

Anyways, it's really hot out!  Humidity is high and in Korea, many places are not as "cold" compared to how hot the weather is outside (Koreans like to stay "warmer" for health reasons).  Don't be surprised if a place is not as "cool" as it should be.  We Americans tend to get spoiled with cool temperature, I mean even in winter! :)

Keep hydrated.  Adjust to a slower pace and be aware that you will sweat a lot (or not depending on your body type) despite putting on your "scent masking" perfume/cologne on. 

To a happy cool dry rest of summer~



On a side note:  the heat always makes one more irritant than ever - be aware of "weary" citizens and perhaps your own altering mood.  I am highly sensitive to my environment, and I catch myself being grudge-y.  Not cool at all.

Stay cool and dry everyone!

Monsoon season in Korea

It's the end of July and it's that time of the year again.

Rain and lots of rain.

Thankfully, the weather has been cool and breezy! :D
