Stream path

Just talked to David and he says that there’s been a lot of rain on the peninsula this spring and summer. (Same is true of the southeastern U.S., though not sure it’s been this heavy.)
This is an old picture of the biking and walking path along the Jungangcheon near our old apartment in Dongdaemun-gu.
He says the entire path is now underwater and some of the smaller bridges (like the one you see in the background that connects the neighborhood road with the Dongbu Expressway) aren’t usable anymore.

In keeping with that, I wanted to point out something ironic I’ve noticed about life back in the U.S. And that is: No matter where you go, the power of the ajumma will follow.

David is working in Hong Kong and Shenzhen while I am back in the States. I miss him, but am glad he’s getting to see some sights.

First, we are not in Hong Kong, as expected. David’s assignment there was postponed until March. Second, Susana and I will not be accompanying him when he does go, as I totally hit the wall when we got back to the States in December. [click to continue...]
