    #4-1 Catatan Kecil Corona dari Selatan Seoul

    #4-1 Catatan Kecil Corona dari Selatan Seoul

    Catatan kecil di penghujung tahun tentang penanganan pandemi Corona di Semenanjang Korea (minus cerita dari Korea Utara, tentu saja). Bagaimana Korea dinilai amat baik dalam menangani virus tak kasat mata sampai bagaimana warga Korea tak ambil pusing soal pakai masker sepanjang hari, sepanjang tahun. Apa ini karena Pemerintahnya saja yang cekatan atau juga karena partisipasi warga negaranya? Yakin sudah tahu jawabnya?

    #3 Seoul-Helsinki Love (Distance) Story Feat. Kevin Kainulainen

    #3 Seoul-Helsinki Love (Distance) Story Feat. Kevin Kainulainen

    My Finnish buddy, Kevin Kainulainen (@iamkevink), came to the studio just two weeks before he returned home to Helsinki, Finland. Spending four months of exchange semester here in Korea granted him extra course and credits: How to Become a Gentleman by Surviving Long Distance Relationship. His girlfriend should be proud of him, like me proud of him on how he was politely evading any temptation here in Korea. Haha. He also shared how he and every Finnish can have that perseverance mentality to overcome any mental block. Just put this one Finnish word in your dictionary: sisu, one of the Finnish's finest secret recipes to surviving life.

    #2 Not Every Oppa is an "Oppa" in Korea Feat. Nguyen Van Anh

    My Vietnamese friend Nguyen Van Anh (@psmissyoux) came to the home studio and tell her stories about being an alien and a single in Seoul. "It's not that easy to find a mate here, Bro!" she said. While she's busy finishing her master at Gwanak Mountain, she's also busy planking and wandering the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. Korean people are very nice but again you need a special strategy to get an Oppa here in Korea.
