Travel.

[herveus]

I'm over in Korea for another trip.

On the flight from BWI to JFK, there was a gentleman wearing an orange suit. With a bright orange shirt and mostly black tie. His complexion was quite dark. He looked really sharp in it.

I got lucky on the flight to Incheon. The middle seat next to me was empty. Yay! Among the inflight movie offerings (which are all now "on demand") was on called Ip Man. It was recommended to me, and I found it worth my time to have watched. It is set in China in the 1930s, in Fo Shan. Ip Man is a very skilled practitioner of Wing Chun and has opportunities to demonstrate his mastery of that form of kung fu. Then the Japanese invade. Life gets more interesting. I'll leave the rest of the story vague, save to note that Ip Man survived the war. He set up shop in Hong Kong teaching Wing Chun. Among his students was some guy named Bruce Lee.

I'm settled in Itaewon for the moment. I head down to Daegu on Monday (it being Sunday morning as I write this) and will be visiting Ilsan Lake Park later today. I hope being outside most of the day will help me get my body clock reset.
