FINALLY times Five Hundred.

Yay! We have finally moved into our appartment (although our stuff is still incognito). We have a great view, and as I gaze over the City of Seoul I realize what a dichotomy this city is. Divided by mountains, buildings trip over each other on their race down the asphalt rivers, less than half of which even have names other than the "fish" that live there. A jumbled skyline greets the sun with its upraised hands, amputated sometimes, other times whole. Cacaphonous cauldrons of carrying calls cascade across the cantons of the omni-coloured city. Chaos.

And yet...

On the inside is quiet wood floors, the only sound is shuffling slippers. Everything has a place. Closets neatly packed, drawers cleanly stacked, garbage properly sacked, secades promptly whacked... The furniture has a sleek sillouette. Minimalistic. With bamboo. Serenity now, serenity found.

Seoul is a most interesting city.
