I always get overwhelmed by the sheer number of cafes in #Seoul. It feels like, to me, that there are 5-10X as many cafes here compared to a similar neighborhood in #Tokyo or #Osaka
It's so hard to tell which ones are good for #coffee and which ones aren't - most are mediocre but some are amazing.
In #Japan I've got this skill down - identifying good vs mediocre just from appearance, but in #Korea I'm lost.
South Korea's President Lee says U.S. investment demands would spark a financial crisis.

So if you consume a lot of political news, you might know that one of the 300+ Korean workers dragged away in chains by #ICE from a #Hyundai battery plant in Georgia was a pregnant engineer. I just heard her speak to the media about conditions in detention and how terrified she was that something might have gone wrong with her baby under the extreme stress (thankfully, a checkup back in #Korea confirmed the fetus is doing fine). She's resolute and angry, and wants to sue the "land of the lawsuit" in her words. I wish her every luck and would like to congratulate the Trump admin for thoroughly burning bridges with Korea--there isn't a Korean, other than a tiny minority of contemptible lickspittles, who will be unmoved by her story, to say nothing of the deluge of literally hundreds of stories that will follow.
Like, President Lee Jae-myeong enjoys an approval rating of over 60% right now, but sign the kind of deal the U.S. is demanding right now and he'll lose at least half his ratings and his own majority party in the National Assembly will fucking impeach him. Not that he'll do it because he didn't win the Presidency by being a fool, but that's the national mood and I don't see it turning forgiving anytime soon.
Another cool effect, especially for long bunches of flowers like this, is that they seems to fade in an out of reality in an interesting foggy way

One of the cool things I've mentioned on here before about living in Korea is people's dedication to jam a garden anywhere it'll fit. These ripening peppers come from a garden built on a half-meter strip of land between two construction fences next to a vacant lot

One of the things I found fun about shooting this way was what happens to flowers up close. You can clearly see the tops of the stamen, but then it blurs further back, only to clear up again as the petals come forward

"Slice of Life"
Today I set myself a weird photography challenge: I have a 10mm macro ring that a attached to my f1.4 ~50mm equiv lens. I kept most of my shots right at that fastest aperture and tried to capture a really narrow depth of field up close.
Here are some grapes I tested with before I went out in the field near my home in Korea. They're... juicy 👀

Occupied Korea's brain drain worsens as top scientists flee abroad. Weak infrastructure and stagnant funding drive the brightest minds to foreign universities, threatening the country's scientific edge.
