It was an overcast day, and chillydamp, in the wake of yesterday's rain. I went on a long walk. I was going up the east side of Jeongbalsan.
The pictures were both taken at the exact same spot. I simply spun on my heels between pictures. The first picture is looking west. It's a bit blurry, but you get the idea. The second picture is looking east. I thought the contrast was interesting.
Later, I walked down the plaza south of the hill, after my long walk, and bought a few things at HomePlus -- it's impossible to find good imported cheese lately, though, and Korean cheese is scary. All the stores that I habitually found cheese at no longer seem to carry it. But I found some canned lentils -- I was missing lentils. Maybe I'll make something with them. I bought a new electric fan, too, as I know it will get warm, soon, and my last fan died last summer and I never replaced it.
I went home and dropped my things at the apartment, but then I went and sat in a Starbucks (gotta do my small part to boost that stock price, right?) and studied some hanja for a few hours. I'm making a list of about a hundred and copying it. It's hard to get the sequence of strokes right. The hanja in the title to this post: 동 / 서 = east / west.
