neighborhoodly relations
[Expletive] don't leave [expletive ]your care here [expletive]. I pass this place every morning at 6.30. [...] Sillim-dong, April 21, 1999. (c) AL
This photograph reminds me that despite all the talk I've been told about the good neighborhood life, the neighborly relations have points of strain as well.
Update, August 16, 2007
Attentive commentors have paid attention to what what I had failed to notice, that actually the expletives had been added by another person to what had originally been a fairly neutral note asking not to park in that place. One line of the note is hidden below the windscreen wiper, but the last line seems to read musûn muryehan chisiyeyo ("what is this impolite act" or whatever). Or perhaps the same person who originally put up the note added the expletives later, when the note didn't produce a desired outcome?

IASS Round table: La litterature coréenne
The 9th World Congress of the International Association for Semiotic Studies is held in Helsinki and Imatra on June 11-17. My office mate from the Dept of Religious Studies is involved in the arrangements - that's how I became aware of it, actually. Browsing the conference program (pdf), I found out something that must be taking place for the first time in this country: a session on Korean literature. The only problem is that it appears to be entirely in French, a language for which the two years of study decades ago in high school will not be of much help.

Busan panoramas
Busan is a photogenic place - at least as far as using the panorama function of digital cameras is concerned - with its hills and the sea, and houses that are more colorful than in Seoul.
Ever since I visited Korea during the latter half of last December and early January I've been thinking of putting up some of my gratuitious use of the aforementioned camera function. The small photos below are from Flickr, and the adjoining links to a larger file of the same picture stored at Imageshack.

Visited my Youtube account after a long time.
A look at my profile was not too encouraging:
