From farm to fork: Environmental and climate consequences of food waste
From farm to fork: Environmental and climate consequences of food waste
The pervasiveness of food waste in our society poses a grave environmental and climate concern. The majority of discarded food ends up in landfills due, in part, to the absence of any legislation to deter it. As food decomposes in landfills, it releases methane, a greenhouse gas 28 times more potent than CO2, further intensifying climate change. The 'Food Waste Index Report' ...

Time is not on my side
Time is not on my side
With a pretty good degree of certainty, whilst approaching my eighth decade, time is not on my side. With all certainty, impending death helps me at this moment to make the right choices in life by rethinking priorities. By cost-benefit analysis, it does appear that in this second half of life, I am paying much for choices made in the first half.

Our old new flat
Our old new flat
If you are an old school girl who's devoured interior magazines and filled yourself with trends and styles, our new home will definitely stand out as a modest example. My mom, our old-school girl, chose to rent our new flat and made some holistic changes. She strategically outed a lot of our furniture. The "new" but old flat was more than 10 years old and creaked a little in ...

Discovering feminism, female writers
Discovering feminism, female writers
I had much interest in feminism or women’s studies at university and tried to read many books on the subject. For instance, I still remember that I read the famous 'The Second Sex' by S. Beauvoir, 'Wake Up, Women' by Lee Woo-jung, a novel titled 'I Desire What is Inhibited to Me' by Yang Gui-ja, 'Failure of a Half' by Lee Kyung-ja and 'Impossible Marriage of Marxist Feminism ...

Outgoing missions
Outgoing missions
Missionaries are constantly coming and going around the world. On the way to an extensive mission trip across the United States, I am happy to meet various types of parishioners. People whom I encounter during missions are so diverse with unique stories. Most of the stories are so touching that I always remember their tough journeys and keep them in my prayers.

CSAT and killer questions
CSAT and killer questions
Every year around this time, articles about the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) attract attention. The 2024 school year CSAT, which was held on the 16th of this month, was no exception. This year, we have estimated that the exclusion of so-called 'killer questions' would make the test easier.

Recent summits highlight Korea's global importance
Recent summits highlight Korea's global importance
The recent summit between Presidents Joe Biden of the United States and Xi Jinping of China was useful, especially for U.S. business executives present, but it also highlighted the serious economic problems of Xi’s dictatorship. These include a collapsing real estate market and increasingly worrisome local government debt.

Untraveled path to rural Japan
Untraveled path to rural Japan
In the intricate tapestry of life, choices often define our journey. Robert Frost's iconic poem, 'The Road Not Taken,' encapsulates the perpetual contemplation of alternate paths and the lingering curiosity about what could have been. We all harbor these wistful musings, wondering if another choice might have led to a more fulfilling existence. It's an eternal dance between w...

Road trips are fun
Road trips are fun
Flying and driving are the primary modes of travel these days. That said, there are some advantages of driving over flying. When you travel by car, you have more control over your adventure. You can drive at your own pace and stop as much as you like to take in the beautiful scenery along your way.
