Hello, hi. So we are just exploring, we're out enjoying the beautiful weather. We are in  

過去簡單式

Seochon today and my bus - little speed demon over here - arrived 30 minutes before literally

現在進行式

everything opens so I am sitting here on this bench in the shade, enjoying my time.

And there will be coffee and snacks in our future.

We managed to find a shady bench, one of two in this entire

park. The daisies - this is like the first year that we're seeing all the seasons of this park.

This is right by anguk station (as always  all locations are in the description box) but  

this is my first time, I had no idea there  were daisies until I passed this on the bus and

so I was like 'got to come back.' Stunning.  Poppies, daisies, I forget what those blue  

flowers are called - corn flowers I think? It's just so nice so I'm going to sit out here on  

my bench, enjoy it, read a little bit, and  I'll see you at home okay!

If there's mascara running down my face, ignore me. My eyes are super dry, it looks  

like I'm crying. I love flower people. I love flower people so much. I just took a bunch of cute  

pictures for this very adorable couple who were struggling. I'm going to head home just because  

a giant spider thing, honestly I don't know what  it was, landed on me and kind of killed the vibe  

to be honest. But I also need to go home cuz I'm starving, but what a beautiful day,

So an empty one of those - like as an  American, I know what those are, I haven't  

ever ridden one I don't think but like I know  what those are - at the cafe I was sitting at  

one of them passed the cafe and  the two girls sitting at the window seat  

had this long conversation trying to figure out what the hell that thing was cuz there  

were no people on it. They were like is it a  trolley? It said - it says tram, is it like a Hong  

Kong tram? They were yeah they were struggling but yeah those are new to the city fun fact.

Hello, hi. It is Friday and today is an  exciting day. I have to film a book video hence  

the setup if this looks familiar - I don't, I've only  filmed two videos here so maybe it doesn't look  

familiar - anyway book video in the works. I have to  film and hopefully edit it today and have it sent  

over. Tonight, I'm actually meeting up with Cindy  and Ellias! Virtual book friends. They are  

in Seoul and so I'm going to hopefully have dinner  with them if they aren't too tired because they  

are running around. So that's exciting and then this weekend I'm seeing a bunch of friends so  

today is going to be a little hectic and I need to focus and do some work so I will see you at  

lunchtime - hopefully by then I will have finished a  video and will be in editing mode so I will catch  

you then but yeah I'm reading a really good book. I'm actually, the video I'm filming is about all  

the, my favorite books that I've read in the year  so far. But I'm reading a really good one right  

now called Library of the Unwritten if you like books about books and books about libraries and  

like feral hilarious intimidating scary librarians.  Literally it's about a library in hell and it's  

so fun. I'm having such a good time. I wanted to try and read more of it so that I could talk

about it in this upcoming video that I'm filming, so that's why I went to a cafe this morning. I'm  

at 42%? And also just to comment on the coffee  scene in my new area - it's a very, there's a lot  

of like office buildings I guess, just a lot of office workers are around so I feel like  

there's a lot of competition with all of the cafes. There's a lot of coffee shops first of 

all and second of all I think that it drives the prices down so even there's a couple cafes around  

here that are very, they look bougie like I could  walk in and not be surprised if they're lattes  

were $7. But because of the area, no one  would go - like no one's going to get a $7  

latte in this area so all of the cafes,  the americanos are maximum 3,000won, $3.  

But usually they're 2,000 which is like a $1.75?  Snd I only get americanos, so that's what I'm  

doing. I'm very happy. I was worried cuz you  never know in Korea, but we got really lucky  

and the caf's open early because people are coming to work early - jackpot. Very pleased I'm

really loving our neighborhood. We've already found some good restaurants that we really  

like - that was actually quite sad, the day that  we moved, the final day like I guess it  

was Sunday, we came back and we did like the  final cleaning of our house and then we

were in the neighborhood so we got there's a  Chinese place that we went to literally like  

four times a week probably and we told the owner  that we were leaving and he was like "oh but you'll  

come back right? you have to come back!' like :( Yeah maybe we will, we'll make a little trip. Anyway

so just it's a great day. Filming a book video, I will see you guys for lunch okay okay bye!

You know. Where do you think I am? I'm meeting  

bookish friends - where do you think  I am? What do you think I'm buying?

Okay a little difficult to talk, a little noisy. We're in Mangwon because I'm meeting up with Hennie

who I haven't seen in over a year and we're  going to Always August wish we both love and  

Hi from Hannamdaegyo, I am on a bridge and it is bouncing  

really hard which I hate. We're going  to go see Nathan at a cafe, do a little  

book exchange - I have no books for him but I'm bringing him some skin care because I

just can't have him keep giving me stuff and not returning the favor so sorry it's so loud, see you!

Sorry in case you couldn't hear me on the bridge, I'm here to meet Nathan. I got here  

a little bit early so I'm just walking -  we're up at like the Nansam area. Because  

it rained all day yesterday, it's so green  and it's so wet. The ground is still really  

wet so it's just this wonderful temperature and just like it's so cool in the shade. I  

actually was just answering comments on  my new video and someone asked me like how  

do I manage my mental health? And honestly it's really just like getting near trees

listen - it's like how lovely? That's  what does it for me so anyway, there  

are so many cars I'm not supposed to talk to you right now apparently. I'll see you!

Hi, hello. I'm about to settle in for a nap.  It's that time of month and I need it so  

I'm going to read my book until I fall asleep but  speaking of books, a mini book haul. Nathan was  

so generous, oh my God. So I have four books  to share with you all. Some of these are loans,  

I will be giving them back but I'm happy to have them in my company for a bit. We have the  

employees - a little bit of lit fi sci-fi and  Jeff Vandermeir is quoted on the back, he did a  

blurb. And we just talked about how Annihilation by Jeff Vandermere scarred and traumatized both  

of us so it's got to be a good sign. So I'll  be reading this. This is an arc for - More Days at  

the Morisaki Book Shop. The sequel. Look at that  cover! Also Miranda July's new novel All Fours.  

I grew up, like in college, I must have read No One  Belongs Here More Than You, a collection of short  

stories by Miranda July, maybe a million times. She had a short story in there, it might have  

even been the first one in the book, where she is  a swim instructor in a place where there's no pool,  

no water to speak of. So she like goes to these two elderly people's apartments who want to learn how  

to swim and like teaches them how to swim without  water. I don't know why that's - I literally haven't  

read that book in probably 10 years - stuck with  me though. So very excited to dive into her new  

book and then I was reading this on the bus  and Nathan gave this to me because he mentioned  

that there aren't a whole lot of books set in San  Diego. You know New York, LA, San Francisco, Chicago  

like all these big cities tend to have books set there but San Diego doesn't get quite  

that rep and so this is a kind of collection of short who knows what - little musings little  

stories. It's almost like a diary to be honest, kind  of revolving around San Diego and it seems so far  

like revolving around food - yeah it's absolutely  revolving around food. I'm only on 23, I've only  

read three of the stories and I need to, I stopped  because tomorrow we need to go to Muji and buy  

some highlighters because I need to mark this book up so much. It is so good. And remember how  

if you go back to when I was just in San Diego and  I was talking about the very distinct smell of the  

city that I had almost forgotten until I got back  there? The very first page of this book, they are in  

Little Italy, they're dining and dashing so they have grabbed their food and left without paying  

and so they're running through the streets  of Little Italy trying to eat their eggplant  

parmesan before they get caught by the like door  man. And Little Italy, for those who don't know,  

it's, San Diego Little Italy is right near the water. It's just like a couple blocks away from the  

harbor so I mean anywhere in downtown San Diego  you're going to get like this very distinct ocean
