probably the coolest thing I saw in Munich

I knew about the Eisbach surfers before visiting, but seeing it in person was something else.
The idea that you can surf right in the middle of the city is just crazy to me.
I kept thinking… imagine finishing work (or even going out during your lunch break), catching a few waves, and then going back to the office.
That has to be one of the coolest city lifestyles I’ve ever seen.
Honestly, I spent way longer watching than I expected.

So happy to find Okdongsik in Paris

Been a few years since I last had Okdongsik, and it’s still one of my favorite Korean restaurants.
I happened to be in Paris for work and realized they had a location here, so I had to go.
Honestly… I was a little worried it wouldn’t taste the same, but it was exactly how I remembered it. Clean, comforting, and one of those meals that doesn’t need to do anything fancy.
It was one of those meals that instantly took me back.
Really happy I got to have it again after all this time.

German learners, how do you instinctively separate "von" and "ab"?

I’m currently learning German, and I’m really struggling to grasp the practical difference between von and ab.
In my native language, both are translated to the exact same word ("from / starting from"), which makes it incredibly frustrating when trying to speak or text in German. I always hesitate for a few seconds trying to decide which one to use.
I know the basic textbook rule that von usually pairs with bis (von A bis B), and ab is often used for a starting point in the future (ab morgen). But in real-life conversations, it doesn't always feel that simple.
Do native speakers have a specific "vibe" or mental image for each word? And for fellow learners, how did you train your brain to naturally pick the right one without overthinking it every time?

My Korean friend just introduced me to a whole new world of kimchi 🍚

A Korean friend brought back some side dishes from Korea and shared a few with me, and honestly I’m way more excited than I expected 😅

I got green onion kimchi (pa-kimchi), perilla leaf kimchi, gungchae, and gat kimchi.

I’ve had regular cabbage kimchi and pa-kimchi before, but the other three are completely new to me.

To be honest, before this I didn’t realize there were that many different kinds of kimchi and banchan. Growing up, kimchi was basically just “kimchi” in my head.

Now I’m staring at my fridge wondering what meal I should make to go with all of these.

Especially curious about the perilla leaf kimchi and gat kimchi. The smell alone is already making me hungry lol.

What’s your favorite way to eat these?

Can people actually play basketball here?

walk past this spot pretty often and always wonder the same thing

is this actually a playable court or more of an art installation / “technically a court” situation? lol

looks cool for sure, but between the pillars, fencing and everything around it, i can’t imagine playing a proper game there

has anyone here actually played on it?

just curious every time i walk by 😄

🏀👀

Ok yeah… feels like summer finally arrived in zurich

Yesterday actually felt like real summer for the first time in a while

sun’s out, everyone suddenly outside again, trams full, people already sitting by the water lol

kinda feels like it’s finally time to go swimming again
might need to dig my fish bag out of storage soon 🐟

zurich really becomes a different city once the weather flips like this

Little typography moments from annecy, france

was walking around annecy recently and kept stopping to take photos of random lettering lol

nothing super famous or “designed” in a graphic design book kinda way
just small stuff on storefronts, old signage, boats, galleries etc

but france really has this way of making even ordinary type feel cinematic somehow

especially loved the contrast between the elegant script signage and the more awkward modern sans serif stuff nearby
feels very human and unpolished in a good way

anyway just wanted to share a few little typography moments i found around the streets there

sometimes inspiration is literally just walking around with your phone half out of your pocket

Finally started using those medicube devices my wife bought and never used lol

My wife bought a couple of those medicube devices a while ago and they were basically just sitting there untouched

at some point i looked at them and thought… this stuff was way too expensive to just collect dust lol

so now i’m trying to actually follow one of the beginner routines they recommend

right now i’m doing something like:

sun / tue → booster pro
mon / sat → air shot
wed → derma shot

then taking breaks in between because honestly doing this every day already feels like a job 😭

still super early so i can’t really say i see a huge difference yet
but i guess doing something is probably better than doing nothing

anyone here actually stick with these long enough to notice results?
curious if it’s one of those things where changes sneak up on you over time

if i end up noticing anything i’ll probably make another post later on

hey, planning a trip to korea later this year and thinking of going a bit outside the usual seoul/busan route

I’ve been looking into the jeolla region (gwangju, yeosu, mokpo) and it seems like people always mention food first when talking about that area

I’ve already been to seoul, busan, and gyeongju before, so this time I’m more interested in something a bit slower, more local vibe

one thing I came across was that different regions in korea have their own style of kimchi (kinda like regional food differences in italy), and jeolla-do seems to have a strong reputation for that

so I’m curious:

is the kimchi there actually noticeably different from other parts of korea? or is it more subtle?

also for those who have been to gwangju / yeosu / mokpo:

how did you find those places overall?

worth spending a few days in each, or better to focus on one or two?

I’m mostly into food, walking around, and just taking things slow rather than rushing through tourist spots

would appreciate any thoughts 🙏

Thinking about getting plastic surgery in korea… would appreciate some honest opinions

hey, I’m a korean guy in my 30s currently living in switzerland

I’ve been considering going back to korea for some procedures (nothing too extreme, mostly subtle improvements)

and I feel like korea obviously has a lot of advantages… but I’m also not 100% sure if it’s actually worth flying all the way for it

on paper it sounds good

– doctors with a lot of experience (especially with asian faces)

– communication is easier for me

– prices seem more reasonable compared to europe

– and I’d be staying with family so recovery might be easier

but at the same time

– it’s still a long flight

– follow-up care feels a bit tricky once I’m back in europe

– and I’ve seen mixed reviews online (some amazing, some kinda concerning)

so I’m curious…

for people who actually went to korea for surgery (especially if you live abroad):

was it worth it overall?

did everything go smoothly with recovery + aftercare?

would you recommend doing it there vs just finding a good surgeon in europe?

not looking for clinic ads or anything, just real experiences 🙏
