One year in South Korea from September 2021 to September 2022 was an amazing experience.
I miss being able to walk everywhere. Step out of the Dongpyeon apartment and there are 3 bakeries within a 5 minute walk. Pharmacies, doctors, libraries, convenience stores, pet stores, unmanned 24-hour ice cream store, Paris Baguette … it is astonishing how livable the cities in South Korea are.
