Back To This Business

I’m back in Korea.
And look at the first news article I see on my return, translated and in my email box:

On the 20th, a 57-year-old Mr. Mun was charged without detention at the Kangdong Police Station in Seoul for assaulting a subway passenger who expressed displeasure at his farting in [...]

Miniscule World
