The World Through #Tech Eyes

The #Tech world – always communicating behind glass, usually with filters distorting the view. Looking each other face – to – face might help us see one another more clearly.

Legit #KoreanFood

#koreanfood done right! Seoul Train Station has a restaurant on 4th floor called ‘Korean Restaurant’ (inventive huh?! 😂). It is SO GOOD! #motherdearest ordered the #galbi stew and I ordered #Bulgogi. All the side dishes came with. Garlic, Leaf wraps, Kimchi, Radish, Soy Soup, etc. #Yummy
The City that Survives
1 Jul
America is my country, but #Seoul is my hometown. There is something so soothing to me about this city, with the topsy-turvy combination of new & sleek contrasted with old & meandering. The moment I see my river begin to rise in the bus windows, my soul relaxes and I know it’s all ok. To stand, looking out over a city as old as time. Knowing that for centuries, one nation after another (often repeatedly) tried to stamp out its #culture and #Heritage only for Seoul to stay standing. It’s a Beautiful feeling – Here for 14 days!

MBC Filming Crew!
30 AprCool! Was walking through Seoul yesterday when we passed by the MBC offices near Yeouido Station. Got a chance to see a filming crew in action! Never seen one before, so it was amazing 🙂 He was in handcuffs and was running to jump in a car. Escape! 😛
