Seoul Christmas Bus




Oh Christmas bus! oh Christmas bus! It's January 19th...
It's never tooooo-late for your cheer
oh Christmas Bus, pick me up here
Oh Christmas bus! oh Christmas bus! How lovely is your tinsel...

Oh Christmas bus! oh Christmas bus! You picked me up in Gangnam.
with passengers packed in so tight
admiring the dazzling lights
Oh Christmas oh Christmas bus...the driver is distracted.

Oh Christmas bus! oh Christmas bus! for twenty minutes standing
though joys of Chris-a-mas have passed
this Christmas bus is sure to last
Oh Christmas bus! oh Christmas bus! You are the one most lov-ed!

Winter walks; three pairs of pants, and my striped mittens


Ever wonder What KIMCHI is made of? Well I will tell you now--it's Kimchi is PEOPLE.







It's cold. So very very cold. I walk to along the river wearing three pairs of pants.
I am still cold. The world is quiet on cold days, and for this I am thankful. Children are kept indoors and young/middle aged adults keep to major roads, bus routes, and metro tunnels. THe world is quiet in the parks, along the rivers. I spy elderly couples. Aggoshi and Ajjuma walk side-by-side. Head to toe they are covered. white gloves, white face mask, sunglasses. The only skin I see is perhaps a small bit of cheek...if that. No sun exposure, and no cold exposure, but the fresh air and the exercise is good for your health.
,,,and also for your stamina...nudge*nudge*
