Here is an aphorism from my aphorism book.
서울가서 김서방집 찾기
seo·ul·ga·seo gim·seo·bang·jip chat·gi
Seoul-go-CONJ Kim-mister-house search-GER
[Like...] going to Seoul and searching for Mr Kim's house.
This plays on the ubiquity of the "Kim" family name in Korea. Looking for Mr Kim's house is a futile and aimless search, because there are nothing but Mr Kim houses. It's like finding a needle in a haystack, groping in the dark.
[daily log: walking, 6km]
