I couldn't live somewhere that doesn't give individual apartments control of their own aircon.

And thus concludes the aircon battles for this year. Let us begin preparations for the heating war of 2024.

We're currently averaging ₩12,000 (£7) for 6 little tomatoes at my local market. I'm having to choose between keeping the lights on or eating a salad. Madness.

Remember: If you've been a good boy or girl this year, King Sejong will visit your house tonight and leave you a Korean dictionary at the bottom of your bed.

Blue skies over Seoul this week.

Banger.

It's a blue sky.

The sky is blue.

30°C outside, but I've got the aircon set on 17 so I can still drink tea.

Same for me and the missus... Across two different years, mind. She never lets that go.
