Autumn Falls Soft and Cool.
Hello family, friends, random strangers from the web:
Another week in Korea has passed beautifully by. The mountains today are peaceful, beautiful, fading gently as the train weaves through the landscape, the green hue of the trees transformed to a soft and gentle blue in the midst of the fog. Amid the distant sounds of construction, I spent my day quietly, breathing the cool breeze and enjoying the warmth of the sunshine, the color of my pencils, the scratch of the pen.
There are few thoughts in my head but to tell you things are quite busy, as per usual when life is spent exploring and meeting people. The more familiar I become with Korea, the more beautiful it is, though it may be noted that my romantic perception of life is, indeed, romantic, and though there are many things in Korea that are perceptually and culturally different from the land of purple mountains majesty, the bad things do not in any way outnumber the good. I am happy in Korea: everything is new and interesting to me.
There are many things I miss from home but such is the constant state of life, and I am happy to be here now.
A few pictures to speak louder than words:
