This is a small experiment in the blogosphere. "If you have no interest in what it's like to grow old, what follows is not for you. However, if it's going to happen to you, and the outcome is ultimately going to be negative, then finding a way to make the process as bearable, even as enjoyable as possible, might be worth a little attention."—from John Jerome's On Turning Sixty-Five

From Pusan Perimeter to Seoul and Return
Newly Weds posing with cherry blossoms in Seoul April 2004: they were lined up to have the pictures taken
A little historical reminder in that headline there. As a ten-year old I read everything I could about the Korean War, the Forgotten War as some call it.
A taxi-driver in Busan—name has been changed from Pusan to Busan—taking me to the United Nations Cemetery thought I might be old enough to have been a participant and was appropriately grateful. When I told him I was too young he thanked my older brothers, uncles and father. He too was a child at the time.
Busan to Seoul and back.

“In beholding old stones we may feel our anxieties about our achievements–and lack of them–slacken . . . Vast landscapes [and seascapes] can have an anxiety–reducing effect similar to ruins, for they are the representatives of infinite space, as ruins are the representatives of infinite time, against which our weak, short-lived bodies seem no less inconsequential than those of moths or spiders.”—Alain de Botton in Status Anxiety
