Today I finally found time to write again for my personal blog, also to get some brain food and just relax. Currently, I am reading the book Who Moved My Cheese? and have achieved a rank of 380 in Rapid Chess. At the moment, I can't decide if the Ford Bronco (Filson edition) is more comfortable than a RAM, Ford Pickup, Maserati Grecale, or BMW X6. As you can see, I prefer big cars. Additionally, my monthly AI token usage has shot up to extreme heights. On a different note, I have finished the admin page for Thinking Humans students (still a very early beta version). It's a proposition for the internet and current school systems to provide free learning at scale to students worldwide.
Ok, now let's get serious. Today's post is about Korea. Let's call this a series documenting my experiences within and about Korea.
My love for Korea started after watching Hotel Del Luna on Netflix. This love story about a witch fascinated me; it contained so many subtle elements of Korean life that impressed me with how Korean people live. IMDb suggests the same with a positive rating of 8.1/10 (18k reviews) for Hotel Del Luna. The series follows a manager who is invited to manage a hotel for dead souls. I don't want to reveal too much right now, except that it offers a fascinating trip into Korean culture, exploring their perspectives on life, death, and love, as well as how cultural attitudes, customs, and routines are practiced in day to day standard Korean life. For outsiders, this might be hard to understand at first glance.
In addition to my affection for Korea, I have been able to visit many times, work for a Korean tech company, and get to know Korean friends and culture while visiting various cities across the country.
By "Korea," I mean South Korea. That is the standard phrasing here in Germany. You generally don't need to specify "South" for people to know what you mean.
For Part One, I thought these pictures show the authentic side of Korea, you know, the kind you can only see when you visit this special place. Enjoy.
