A city made of 49% stone, 49% LED & 2% snow
Also a city destroyed and rebuilt through wars, occupations, dictatorships, and rapid modernisation, maybe that’s why it appears so political to me ? not because of the book I read about spaces of revolution, nor because of the protests I randomly bumped into on the street. But this city keeps making me question myself:
Is it simply because I don’t know Korean, that I feel less deserving of kindness or assistance?
Is it because of how I was prejudiced: looking Chinese, but I refuse to speak Chinese?
But my discomfort also made me reflect on how I treat outsiders in my city.
tips: No need to purposely go uphill to Namsan Tower because eventually, you can see it everywhere anyway :)
首爾，一座適合在冬天去的城市，或許你就可以將它的冷漠歸咎於氣候；但與此同時若沒有強大的文化內核，也撐不起一群人對另一群人的不迎合。韓國讓我對亞洲的想像拉扯出新的維度，是我的微弱好奇心被粗暴回應的一趟出行。

soft red satellite, spoonful of sugar, holiness in everything, crunchy laughs, no tissue in toilet bowl—- how I remember Bangkok. I love making plans, but I also love how these things distract me from my plans.
恭喜我弟成為社畜一員，從此打工魂燃燒生命
頑張って（がんばって）！

Managed to see one, but missed the chance to make a wish (& it’s ok) Because I was preoccupied with “Why am I here?” — hadn’t yet recovered from the rough journey that finally brought us here. @.@
But at least I didn’t fail my friends with my random invitation, at least some wishes can be realized with non-romantic commitment XD
我是个如果没有 9成 成功几率或者兴致，就会想要放弃算了的人。虽然有时候那个1成 也很容易被鼓励而做出一些异于自己惯性的事，比如被 @gnep_peng 鼓励在鬼月抹黑进森林（内心奔溃）。
大家都说看流星是件浪漫的事，趁着每个人的戒心放低，可以不用脑问问题：#你相信外星人吗 #我们被看吗 #你有钱吗 #不看流星可以做多少事 #目前这样的自己会持续多久 ；直到积云覆盖了星空，那些未知和不解都融进了暗夜，看了最后一眼即将掉入地平线的橘红月光，收拾温柔的心情返回现实。
北京那么冷，大家还是分了很多温暖给我 🤍
4 years in the blink of an eye, most of the people I met in Beijing bid their farewell in their own way. People who stayed, they stay silent, and move on.
