Melanie's Mostly Writing

It’s supposed to be spring here but the cherry blossom has quickly gone. To be honest, it feels more like summer. It’s been 28 degrees Celsius recently here and I saw on the weather report that it’s 32 degrees in nearby Yangju today. I was in Yangju a couple of days ago. I met up with one of my online friends. We have been friends since 2018 but never met before. She kindly drove 90 minutes to meet up.

It was wonderful to meet in person. She is sweet and funny. We went to Qoo Qoo sushi buffet. I am on a diet, as always, but the range of delicious foods was too tempting. I ate salmon sushi and many other things. I had a dessert plate too but I chose small things. This weekend I’ve tried to up my protein and eat quality food, not just calorie count. I was tempted by some nachos and guacamole this afternoon though.

    Today we went a drive to a local forest for a walk, and a look for chestnuts as they are in season now. It was beautiful, full of pines and chestnut trees, quiet and green. There was only one other couple there. I love the forest and fully believe it is good for your mind…

  • Of Sweetness and Superposition

    A few weeks ago, before the previous teachers left, we went to Outback Steakhouse for lunch together. I ordered chicken salad. The seasoning was off as the chicken was too salty. The thing that I couldn’t get over though was how sweet the cheese soup was. The bread and butter were sweet too. I have…

  • Of Retro and Remembering

    Today we had Retro Day at the school. I didn’t have any clothes from the past but I found a worn baseball cap, from San Francisco, that looked vintage. The kids dressed up. There was a photo zone and fashion parade. We made dalgona candy and ddakji, which people may know of now, due to…
