I have an alt account on a self-hosted server, and I thought I’d move this account there too. Hope everything will go well!

I went to the bookshop, but it was impossible to access Han Kang’s books with all the journalists and cameras. Bought Jeon Gun-woo’s (전건우) latest mystery instead!

I’m spending more time on my bike than reading, but October is the best season for outdoor activities! ☀️🍂

I did start a novel by Kikuo Tsunoda (角田喜久雄), 高木家の惨劇. It’s from the Kagami series (加賀美捜査一課長シリーズ), and I love the beginning, perfect setting for a suspenseful whodunnit!

Wrote a quick blog post before bed again. This time I wrote a review of a book I finished today (aka why I didn't wait to write it later). It's the first time I'm trying to write a more casual review in awhile and like the rest of my blog, it's pretty experimental and subject to change. But if you like reading in Japanese and want some easy nonfiction to read that also makes you think, I definitely recommend checking out both post *and* book.

reviewing 自分疲れ by Hiroki Kashiragi

This is the first time I'm writing a review for this blog, which makes it the first "formal" blog I've written in quite a lot while. Different iterations hav...

I finally found enough motivation and inspiration to rework my Anki cards (thanks @apschmidt !)

In the end, I decided to completely change the layout, so I had no choice but to add a field. This means I must update all my 500 notes, but it’s worth it. I really love the result, I’ve never had so neat Anki cards before! (the font I use is Klee One).

3- 마포 대교 Mapo Bridge: links the North bank to Yeouido. Access via slope on both banks. The cycling road on both side is very narrow, but at least, there’s a separated way for bikes and pedestrians so you can ride (some bridges only have one path and cyclists are supposed to get off and walk). Still must be careful if there are other cyclists.

2- 잠실 철교 Jamsil Railroad Bridge (NOT the 잠실 대교 Jamsil Bridge). This one is great too! Has a large two-way cycling road next to the subway road, but well isolated. Access is via slope (North) and stairs (South), there is an elevator, but it didn’t work when I was there. The only thing is that it gets very loud when the subway passes nearby.

1- 잠수대교 Jamsu Bridge: By far the best way to cross the Han! The Jamsu Bridge is the lower deck of the Banpo Bridge (반포 대교), close to the waterline, so no need to take a slope nor get off the bike! It’s safe as most of the traffic is on the upper deck, and it has a wide two-way cycling road.

I’ve been looking for safe ways to cross the Han on bike, so I’ve searched for bridges that have a separated path for bikes/pedestrians and an easy access directly from the cycling road. For what I’ve tested so far, these three bridges are great (see thread).

I’ll still need to find a bridge further West, but for now, these three bridges cover almost all Seoul. I like to ride along the Han, making a loop using the Jamsil Railroad Bridge and the Mapo Bridge.

I’ve started reading Kikuo Tsunoda (角田 喜久雄) as part of my project to explore pre-war Japanese crime fiction. So far I read and liked 発狂, a dark story of vengeance, and 死体昇天 which had an unexpected and funny denouement.

Completely unrelated, but I bought a choco-cranberry ciabatta that’s just delicious!
