6-11 a Good Day for Reflection: Seoul Palaces Plaza
just a general musing that i had never been to any of the palaces yet in seoul! how long had i been here? what in the world have i been doing... crap!
here's the problem. it's the weekend. and by the time of this being my second year, weekends now are pretty sacred. and if i don't feel like doing much, well... let's be honest there's not much that's going to get me out of the space-time warp call our apartment! now. i'll be completely honest. we looked at the weather and braced ourselves for waking up and not being lazy.
it's just lack of discipline? i'm not sure. but 10am the alarm went off and somehow we weren't traveling to "gwangbok" - "seoul plaza" area until 4pm? that's the epitome of laziness there. honestly how that happens, clearly you're asking the wrong person.
so after clearly failing to see the palaces (which close at 5) we still made the effort to be in that area of seoul and we hung out contemplating our lazy selves and just all around enjoying some green grass as we watched busy-ness go about.
moral of the story - shape up! don't be so lazy. i can't let the work week drag me down so much. because, truth be told i'm getting tired of day-in day-out children.
however, i do actually plan on going and whence i do, there will be a full and properly titled report!

the go to...
seokcho seems to be a go to place for mr. murphy and myself. this'll be our third time going, and nothing was lost on this trip. the weather was fantastic enough for some beach sleeping, sunburning and pizza consuming.
it's quite hilarious to see the differences in which fireworks are treated here in this country as compared to home. quite literally there's no regulation and nearly everything is legally found off the street during celebratory holidays, haha.
there was a small family on the beach near us in the sand lighting off fireworks, and the parent's oblivion as to where their child was seemed so reckless. he was just wandering about.. the mother throwing her jacket, purse scarf quite near to where things were exploding... taking pictures instead of paying attention to where the fireworks are shooting (ie straight up and nearly lighting blankets on fire). allowing your 6 year old child to light them! aye yi yi! needless to say as distressing as it was, it did provide ample entertainment, as did the group of young drunk fathers and uncles who came to our other side doing something very similar, yet maintaining some level of composer telling them women to take the children away while they behaved like children themselves.
as always and forever shall be.. it was good to get away from seoul. I can't say how much I enjoy getting out of the city. as nice as it is to be in it. the extra effort it takes to go away means a lot more as the day goes out.

late arrival due to lazyness
hahaha... bad joke
watching irresponsible parenting, but good fireworks
dawn breaks...
beach sleeping
afternoon sun
no mountains this time, just beach... japan in the far distant horizon. you can see it can't you?
so maybe after this rainy season/summer fit thing whatever korea is going through is over a new go to will be established. this one might have run its course... not sure yet. it was lovely as ever
