I spent a few days in Gangneung, a city on the east coast of Korea, a place where I used to live/teach and a place that I miss. I went there (after being in Seoul) to visit friends and stay for two nights in a beachfront hotel. While I live just as close to the ocean now, it's not even remotely the same, as there is no beach, crashing sea, or even much of a salty ocean breeze.
Gangneung was cold, frigid, but the beach and ocean were beautiful and relaxing. We ate some shrimp for lunch, followed by grilled meat for dinner, followed by drinks and a cigar on my hotel balcony.
I miss that place.
