From Far-Flung Places.

According to Blogger stats I had a rare visit from South Korea tonight.

I wonder why somebody from South Korea would choose to read the rantings of an obscure Englishman with a fondness for English words. After all, the creative form most associated with South Korea at the moment is K-pop, and this blog doesn’t belong in the same universe, does it?

But that’s obviously being too narrow-minded. No doubt South Korea has as much variation in its cultural awareness as anywhere else, and one of my favourite psychological/horror films – A Tale of Two Sisters – comes from there.

In any event, welcome South Korea and thanks for visiting. I do hope your very own No Man’s Land up north is peaceful at the moment. We have a popular phrase in England: 'It's grim up north.' Maybe you should adopt it.
