What To Listen To?



The photo is taken from the mountain in Gyeyang, of Gyeyang-Gu, in Incheon, known to foreigners as Legoland!!


Korea is a rollercoaster for me. Time flies, then moves in slowmotion. I love it then I hate it. So really, it is life continuing in another country.

One of the great things about being in place where I am surrounded by a language I dont understand, where everyone has great difficulty in understanding me, even those who can speak English, (because they can't grasp the English accent. Most of the world learns American as a second language, not English!) is......not having to listen to everyones crap.

Getting into a lift with two cleaning ladies. You know they're having a moan about people leaving rubbish outside of their rooms, and about how many more floors they have to clean. But I dont have to listen to it. The woman in front of the que, when I go to pay my bills, I know she's having a go about being over charged, but I can just switch off.

I can't read all the magazines trying to pollute my mind, I cant read the sign posts when I get lost, and I can't read how much fat is in a chocolate bar.
