It was foggy today around noon when I left my building. The ground was damp, and it felt like Minnesota does sometimes in early Spring after an unexpected thaw.
I walked to the Starbucks at Juyeop (which is indirectly on the way to work) and had a 4 dollar latte. The recent descent of the dollar has brought up prices of things that are tied to the dollar and the global economy, here. But I suppose on the good side, this means I'm earning my wages in won at a good time relative to the global economy.
I read my Economist magazine, and tried to study my giant-and-always-growing list of Korean vocab items, and stared out the window. About 40 minutes later, I walked the rest of the way to work, and watched a street sweeping machine snorting up the orange leaves from the street gutters. The sun came out.
