Hampstead Heath, London

One must visit Hampstead Heath, the most well-known parks in London. I hardly ever venture out to West London. There is a famous crepe shop called Le Creperie de Hampstead that people who live in West Hampstead have been telling me about.

I am at the onset of catching a cold. I spent my Saturday in bed all day, watching series and changing the layout of this blog to something more minimalistic with menus at the top. There's a bit more tweaking to do but overall I'm happy with it.

Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn

Goodbye to people sprawled in parks to soak up the sun, barbecues, Pimm's, pop-up stalls and sunshine until 9pm.

London Summer 2014.

     Making himself right at home. Love it.

I had a conversation with a work colleague about her experience in moving from Korea to the U.S. and now Australia, and she mentioned this Korean proverb:

나무는 옮기면 죽고 사람은 옮겨야 산다.

Roughly translated: A tree that is uprooted will die, but man needs to be uprooted to live/thrive. 

Meaning that when people experience living in different places they will grow, learn and expand their horizons that much more.

会社で同僚の移民経験を聞きながら韓国のことわざを習いました：

나무는 옮기면 죽고 사람은 옮겨야 산다.
木は移したら死んで人は移さなければ住む。

意味は人は幅広く活動をすると(例えば, 海外に住んでみること)見聞が増えてきて視界が広くなり、大きな仕事をすることができるという話です。私は海外にもう住みたいです。

Armory Wharf Cafe

Brunch at Armory Wharf Cafe (as mentioned in my previous post below) at Blaxland Riverside Park. Wish I took more photos of the modern exterior of the cafe. I think I another visit is due soon. It's only a 15 minute drive from my place.
