btw, I'm back from my latest Asian sojourn. Had a half day layover in Seoul on Sunday, so got to do some shopping on this street lined with artisan crafts & small galleries. Bought some cool stuff, but the temp was in the teens at best. Haven't exposed myself to that kind of cold in a long time. Brrrrr.
ETA: this my was first time ever in Korea, so it was eminently worth it. After a week in China, Korea seemed so clean and civilized. And cold.
