Let's try this again...

Settling into my new home in Incheon, S. Korea seems like as good a time as any to make a renewed attempt at blogging.  And, as a f/t student once again, I have a little more disposable time for such hobbies.  So, to start, here's one of the views from our amazing 15th floor flat.  This is the
empty grassland across the street from our building.


Apparently they'll build on it some day, but right now we're enjoying the green space, and so are many local urban farmers.

Upon closer inspection, one can see this isn't a neglected field of weeds.  Edibles are planted, in neat rows, and growing like mad!


I think this is SO cool.  Folks just show up, shovel in hand, and claim a space of their own.  Everyone lives in highrises here, so garden space like this is truly a luxury. I wish this happened everywhere, and governments encouraged citizens to take farming, and greening, into their own hands.  Koreans are cool.
