October

September is a delightful month in Korea, what with the arrival of winter vegetables, the warm-ish weather hanging on, and the intense blue skies! I'm uploading some beautiful new photos from September so you can see what I mean. I spent some days indoors watching bands play, but I also went outside to the park in Gijang, re-visited my favorite temple, the seaside Yonggungsa (dubbed the "temple on the rocks"), took an evening coastal cruise, and cooked at home more.

Then October brought more blue skies, busier days at work (save last week^^), and some big events. PIFF, BFF, Halloween... The Busan Fireworks Festival was one notable experience for me. I did NOT attend this festival in previous years, intentionally, so as to avoid standing for hours in the cold amid the crazy crowds which pour down to central Busan. But this year my friend got tickets to a nice 2nd-floor buffet where we could escape the crowds, sit in the warm, and still look out the opened window-walls. I was in!
