Happy New Year to everyone. I hope you all have a great year coming up, keeping you healthy, wealthy and wise. Do I have any resolutions? Not really, but I’m going to make an effort to keep this blog more up-to-date. I haven’t been out taking any photos lately because the weather has been just too darned cold and windy. I plan to stay in my apartment tonight and get to bed early, though some of the other teachers are going out later. I have a class tonight until 8 p.m., so I might change my mind between then and now.

I took a bus to go shopping at one of the big supermarkets (Lotte Mart) last week, and the route comes to within a few blocks of the Expo site. From what I could see, there have been no big changes to the area. The International Pavilion building, the Korean Pavilion and other major features were still standing, so that’s good news. I haven’t heard anything yet, though, about what the future plans are for the site. Hopefully, it will be put to good use.

Again, Happy New Year, and best wishes for the future.
