空間 Smoked Salmon Salad with the Premium Ale of light blond, '3 Brewers' Yonge-Dundas Street Toronto Oct 21 2009

..of course with Orhan Pamuk's 'Snow'..

I really liked the 'Smoked Salmon & Shrimp Salad'..

lovely half cut boiled egg,
good pieces of avocado,
fresh onion rings,
chunks of tomato,
overwhelmingly dark green cucumber,
and not quite greasy dressing..
for the nice slices of well smoked salmon..
though a couple of shrimp were too small to pick them up.. ^,~

滿秋 Teeing Up into the rich cloudy fall, Don Valley Golf Club Yonge Street-401 HW Toronto Oct 21 2009

It took only 3 and half hours for 18 holes
carrying my own carry-on bag on my shoulders.
We finished 12:26pm after teeing up at 8:56am.
Amazingly speedy game!!

Jim, Fong and George.. it was a good game guys!

After the game, I tried three bottles of Sapporo with Jim.
Drinking beer with a good friend after the play
is my one of my good reason to play golf.

休息 what I liked most.. in Seoul, 청계천 Chunggyecheon Jongro Seoul Korea Jul 27 2006

yes.. it was soaking & resting my feet
in the creek in the middle of downtown Seoul..
and watching the rainbow colored male fishes playing around..


서울 방문 중 내가 가장 좋아했던 것은
청계천에 발을 담그고 쉬는 것이었다.
무지개 색 숫놈 피라미들 보는 건 또 얼마나 즐거웠던지..


july 15 as well..

富者들 Awesome Market Dynamics, Flower Market Chennai Tamil Nadu India Jun 19 2006

life was so rich, colorful and fragrant for them.

people come and buy flowers happily
mostly for their gods and sometimes for their own..
happy buyers make the retailers happy
though they manage to crouch all day
at the same spot allowing their own butts only
no matter how shallow the product margin is..

miraculously enough,
they were so friendly and looked happy & prideful.
giving me such beautiful smiles..

그들의 삶은 참 풍성했다.
온갖 색조와 향기가 가득했는데..

이곳으로 꽃을 사러 오는 사람들은 행복하다.
주로 자신들이 믿는 신들에게 바치기 위한
혹은 자신들을 위한 꽃을 사러오기 때문이다.

행복한 고객을 맞는 장사들도 덩달아 즐겁기 마련이다.
엉덩이 하나 간신히 붙힐 수 있는 그 좁은 공간에서
하루종일 구부리고 앉아 꽃을 팔아야 되지만
악다구니는 커녕 찡그린 얼굴 조차 찾기 힘들다.

흥정이 오가고 큼직한 저울에 꽃잎들을 수북이 달아 팔면서
약간의 농담이 오가며 웃음을 주고 받고..
그들이 이 꽃들을 팔아 얼마의 이문을 남기는 지는 모르겠으나
내게 보내는 환하고 수줍은 듯한 미소는
그들이 결코 찌들거나 불안한 삶을 살고 있다고 생각할 수 없었다.

활기가 넘쳤고 여유가 있었다.

행복한 가족 happy family at dining, Restaurant 'Vasanta Bhavan' Chennai Tamil Nadu India Jun 17 2006

just a simple & ordinary dinning scene
of a family gathered together..
however, the seemingly ordinary event
might be sometimes extremely difficult to restore or maintain..
if once disturbed..

과일파는 눈부신 젊음 shiny youth selling fruits, Chennai Tamil Nadu India Jun 17 2006

i don't know..
whether the job for selling fruits in the street
is suitable for the young man in India or other countries.

but the freshness, colors & sweet scents
of the rich variety of the fruits
quite well mixed & matched with
the good healthy looking young men..

hopefully they earn more than just making both ends meet
for brighter tomorrow..
