Blood In Urine

25 years ago, it was bladder cancer.

This time, a kidney stone, but painful for several days. Luckily, it was at the bottom of the ureter and could be treated using shock waves to break up the stone (lithotripsy).

According to CNN: 1 in 5 deaths of US adults 20 to 49 is from excessive drinking

Korean Prez Using Tragedies, Incidents For Public Relations?

At every big accident, flood, murder, North Korean missile tests, and other newsworthy incident, Prez Yoon always seems to visit and order that preventive steps be taken to try and improve his image and popularity. 

If I think this, then many other Koreans have noticed also. 

It seems Yoon is being alienated by liberal leaders of major countries which continue to maintain close ties with South Korea, in spite of Yoon's antics.

Getting Addicted To Online Shopping?

While I still go to the wholesale market to buy vegetables and fruit, I'm starting to buy more things online. 

Used to go and spend time at stores. Was more active, but congested traffic and unpleasant people have overcome my desire to go out.

No masks are required outdoors in Korea. Still, over 90% wear them. 

Traffic is back to before COVID. Miles of cars moving a snail's pace during rush hours in downtown Seoul. 

Most everyone gets away from Seoul on weekends, so highways are clogged. Many decide to go abroad to escape for leisure time.

Reefer Madness Revisited

President Yoon “War on drugs, please win”

All of a sudden, drugs are a big problem in Korea and a war is on to eliminate them.

Trying to misdirect public scrutiny and disapproval.

Yoon is accused of using the prosecutor's office to discredit and taint opposition politicians, along with the suspended leader of his own conservative party. Charges were dropped against the suspended leader because the witness did not have video evidence as claimed, among other things, but after the party's ethic's committee suspended him for hiding evidence related to the charges. Charges dropped, but suspension kept. 

Yoon's excuse? Probably, Trump did it too.
