Sunday Post #408



So I've been really sick and ended up taking a rather unscheduled blog break. I actually went on vacation last week Tuesday but got sick up north and came home. Thanks to LaLa for inquiring on Twitter. I am back and I have a few walking tours this week.  

I was craving food from my hometown last week and ran into this reminder of my favorite drive in

The first video below is a livechat. Half the fun is following the chat. Highlights are the cat at 36:52 and Koreatown at 39:39. The next one is Seoul in South Korea. I love the rainy ambience.       



I'm liking the idea of sharing a tweet occasionally to generate discussion.

  1. I was wondering where you've been. I'm so glad you're feeling so much better. <3

  2. The walking tours are so nice, except I often end up feeling jealous (well, until Japan went ahead and did that absurd last name thing, now I am decidedly less jealous). Love the Jetsons picture, that is so cute! Also guess Ireland is off the list too? Gosh is there anywhere that isn't garbage fire? I am starting to think Jason (and Judge Lexa) had it right- humanity is a MESS.

  3. Happy to see you back! 🙌🙌🙌

    I would be there with bells on for the Friday Fish Basket. Yum. 🐟

    It's really unbelievable in this day and age that there are still people who think a person's skin color makes them better or lesser than anyone else. 😐

    Have a wonderful new week, and stay well! 🌞

  4. I saw that Dublin video a couple weeks back, totally insane! Cause of it wasn't a racist attack though, apparently a brawl ensued after a street gang started harassing restaurant staff, and a witness said one of them blew cigarette smoke in their face and some such. Regardless good on the waiters for driving them off, though apparently one of the workers got cut by glass badly and had to be taken to the hospital. That one guy at the beginning definitely has some martial arts training though! It's why I put my kids in self defense classes (because you never know), and that's actually how I originally came across that story because stuff like that gets shared around by the teachers/parents.

  5. You mentioned being sick on my blog, but...REALLY sick? while on holiday? For goodness' sake. Glad you're better now, but it was the epitome of unfair...

    I was wondering where the pregnant woman was in that video, then I read BiblioSanctum's comment above. Usual Twitter accuracy...

    Bathroom City is lovely!

  6. God to see you back, Greg! Sorry to hear you've been sick - hopefully you'll feeling much better now. That video is something! Good for those waiters for coming to the woman's aid. But those other guys weren't going to back down! Wow.

  12. I am sorry to hear you have been sick, Greg. I hope you were able to enjoy a little of your vacation at least.

    Good for those waiters! I read a headline recently about the still increasing anti-Asian crimes in my state and it's so disgusting.

    I hope you have a great week, Greg. I hope you are feeling much better.

  13. Oh I'm sorry to hear you were sick! And how awful that it was on vacation too. Good for the waiters! I've been to South Korea a few times in Geogssr and it's always interesting to wander around. Have a great week!

  20. I noticed your absence last week! Usually you show up on all the blogs.

    Glad you are feeling better now, and enjoying your videos.

    Craving favorite foods is a thing I've noticed lately, probably because we have all been so isolated from normalcy.

    Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.

  22. Oh no, Gorgeous Greg! I sure hate that you weren't feeling well and missed out on vacation, but I'm thrilled that you're feeling much better. Please take care of yourself, rest and stay safe. I'm sending lots and lots of healing hugs too! RO

  23. Glad to hear you're feeling better! We took an unscheduled break earlier in the year, though it was more due to my severe reading slump than anything else. Have a good upcoming week!

  24. It should be a law that if you get sick on vacation you immediately get a vacation do-over as soon as you're well again.

    I love little mom & pop diners and such!! I want to try the "sizzle steak" at your favorite diner, and I love a Coney dog!

  25. I'd love to eat at that drive-in! I'd be happy with any of the daily specials. :-) So sorry you've been sick. Hope you're on the mend! Have a great weekend.

  26. Awful when you get sick while on vacation. Hope you will get better soon. Happy reading.

  27. Glad you're back and hopefully feeling better! I had a shout out to you last recently on my own blog for getting me to watch Panic, which I loved! Like you I love those little diners in small towns, they were always so good it seemed! The Dublin video makes me sad, but glad someone is standing up. In America we think it is just here that is so bad with racism, but I guess it isn't just our country that has those people, both bad and good.

    I can't stand to watch those hate videos. They always make me so angry. There's a channel on YouTube you should totally watch. He makes you think about things that go on in the world. His channel is called Beau of the Fifth Column. Check it out!

  48. I hope you're feeling better. I swear... I live for your videos. It always feels like I can plan a trip :)

    The fact that racism exists... that a pregnant woman can be attacked like that... It's happened to me too, all because I'm black. I think it's awesome that those men stood up.
