Spring has Sprung!

Most people wait for a silly groundhog or the first flower to bloom to tell them spring has arrived. Personally, I just wait for this guy to show his face in public again.....

A pleasant surprise to me as I was walking up the stairs with my head down. But a not so pleasant surprise to the family of 3 ascending next to me with their young daughter held close to them. Poor unassuming family. Don't worry about Miichin guy! He is back to his old routine, where he cases my alleyway almost exactly at 8pm several times a week. He never steps on a sidewalk crack (he probably doesn't want his mom to break her back). And deliberately stops in the same locations every time. Where have you been hibernating?!
No matter. Because thanks to this, it's finally official. SPRING HAS SPRUNG!!!!

Take in a whiff of that Bupyeong pollution. Oh, yeah. Definitely spring. I can smell the sewers beginning to brew heartily again.
