Interesting how ginkos turn all yellow at one time, and then suddenly drop all the leaves, or at least the ones near me in Dayton, OH do.

Different. In our experience you can ride anywhere in Holland and enjoy good cycling and infrastructure. In Korea, it is exceptional as it is just on specific routes. They have created this where nothing existed before, in most cases, but they have also created good routing where the route takes you through villages. Both are wonderful, but this feels like an accomplishment putting Korea on the map for cyclists. We had a learning curve at the beginning…map is only in Korean which made it not very useful, a culture shock initially, Busan has aggressive drivers, food and shopping, but we got there eventually and have enjoyed it.

That looks like a great meal - - the rice with a meat dumpling and chicken. :)

From the link, this could be a male. Don't know his fate, but the females die in Fall, says Wiki, with the offspring only being born in Spring. Kinda sad?

In your opinion, is it similar or superior to the Netherlands cycling structure?

Yes, and kind of skimpy for descending on your Lifeline.

The lights affixed to the right and left of the door are quite exquisite !

And “disabled sports”.. That is quite an eye catcher and revelation of progress for those not aligned as “average”.
