  1. A story about my hometown.

    I was born and raised in a city called Daejeon in Korea. There's a district called Yuseong, which is famous for its hot springs dating back to the Joseon Dynasty. The photo above shows what Yuseong Hot Springs looked like many years ago.

    Yuseong is quite large, and it wasn't originally part of Daejeon. In fact, Yuseong was once larger than Daejeon, before Daejeon began to grow around its railway station. As Daejeon expanded, Yuseong was eventually absorbed into the city in 1914.

    But that didn't change the popularity of Yuseong's hot springs. People from Daejeon often took buses all the way to Yuseong just to visit them, and getting there was quite a journey back then. The hot spring district may have been smaller than it is today, but it was already well known, partly because of a story that a king of the Joseon Dynasty was cured of a skin disease after bathing in its waters.

    Sadly, the hot spring district has been declining in recent years, and many businesses struggled to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, Yuseong Hot Springs remain an important part of the history of my hometown.

  2. Changing hotels this afternoon and LOL, #DH2026 is definitely in town! Many familiar faces in elevators, at reception desks, or in the hotel café. This is going to be great!

  5. Yay, we're going to Korea for #DH2026!!

    Just received the news that our short paper on the French crime fiction collection "Le Masque" has been accepted, as well as my poster on the "Mapping DH" initiative! Awesome!

    That's all the more wonderful as we recently received funding for a workshop, to take place the week before in Seoul, with Korean colleagues, to investigate suitable data sources to study literary translations from German and French into Korean.

    Whenever you feel cold, think of these fish vendors in an open market under the heavy snowfall 😁

  7. This sounds like a really bad day 😬

    "The National Data Service serves as the cloud server backbone for government ministries and databases across South Korea, with additional centres in Gwangju and Daegu. However, this outage has highlighted the risks of centralisation."

    It was cold, too cold, back in February. But I wouldn't mind a bit of this right now in Barcelona. Temperatures are rising over here.

  10. Explore the cities of Tokyo, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Busan, Daejeon, & Seoul in my video highlighting my trip to Japan & South Korea in autumn 2024! It was a wonderful experience, and it took me about 6 months working off & on to complete the video.

  12. Today started the final leg of my trip with me departing Daejeon and arriving in Seoul. I can already tell there’s a huge amount of stuff to do in South Korea’s capital city, so I’ll do what I can.

    After checking in, I ate some delicious tteokbokki, eomuk, & gimbap, napped, walked along the daylighted Cheonggyecheon Stream, & went to Banpo Hangang Park. This city is so alive & brimming with activity!

  13. Chapter 8: Let's Talk Zombies. If a zombie bites you, you become a zombie. Luckily in Terminus: Zombie Survivors, you can throw molotov cocktails at them!

    Developed by Korea-based Longplay Studios, we try to escape the apocalypse via plane, train, or boat. Or, if you're patient enough, research the cure!

  14. A bit exhausted from the constant traveling between cities, I was happy to take things more slowly today by spending time resting, finding Seattle Park, and exploring the 1993 Daejeon Expo grounds both during the day and night.

    Oh, and I had more banana milk; that stuff is delicious! I feel refreshed and ready for the final city of my trip: Seoul
