It took a month, but I didn’t forget you!

@relished.bsky.social here you are! Crossing the extremely wide Han River.

Live updates: Israel-Hamas ceasefire and hostage release deal set to begin Sunday in Gaza The plan is for Hamas to hand the abductees to the Red Cross, which will deliver them to Israeli officials in Gaza. The hostages will be evacuated to hospitals.

The ceasefire in #Gaza, which has endured war for 15 months, is set to start in 15 minutes.
"So much hope as the clock ticks," @unrwa.bsky.social says - for families to be reunited & for food aid to reach the hungry.
@washingtonpost.com is live reporting it.

Live reporting of an attempted pre-dawn raid of #SouthKorea’s president, who had tried to stage a coup. It’s freezing out there & police are trying to find a way in, even via a hiking path. Hope nobody is hurt. @koreajoongangdaily.com

I don’t own a car! But next time I see a beautiful view of the river, I will post it.

I will not ruin this moment with an inadequate mobile phone photo, but golden dawn light was hitting the Han River just so when I commuted into work today, and it was so beautiful. I understand why #Korea is called the land of morning calm.

Plane crash-lands at South Korean airport, killing nearly all 181 aboard The control tower at Muan International Airport warned the Jeju Air plane of a potential bird strike minutes before the crash. Two people were rescued.

A tragic follow-up. Nearly all the passengers on the flight to Korea were killed. My heart goes out to their family and friends.

Praying that rescuers can save the survivors on the plane.
