Dear Santa,
I would like Adobe Photoshop, please.
Much love,

I'm in Korea!
In Yong-In, to be exact. My aunt and uncle moved here from Seoul a little over a year ago. 3 days into my trip here, I prefer their old Seoul apartment much much more. I can see why they moved here though. It's like their version of Orange County (blech). There are more people in cars than on the streets, and the keeping-up-with-the-Joneses phenomenon is alive and well. My aunt wants to get a Harley (yes, a Korean ahjumah in her late 40s/early 50s wants a Harley) because all the neighbors are getting one.
The plus side to surburbia, though, is that my aunt and uncle have a backyard. A beautiful one at that. Backyards are a rare treat in Korea as land is insanely scarce. It's quite swanky. With a koi pond and everything. It's great for my yoga practice. Woo!
I must say, I was not expecting so much serenity here in Korea. I'm sorta itching for some of that Seoul shoulder-to-shoulder bustle. Soon!

| How do you like my purdy ahjumah backyard slippers? I'm also sporting my yoga pants. So cool. |

| This is the view from my room...does not feel like Korea. I'm learning I don't like surburbia even in other countries. |

Globalization is wild isn't it? I do love the idea of ahjumahs on Harleys, though. Always happy to see one of your posts pop up.
