When work gets so busy it gives me a headache, I have to step out for some fresh air no matter how little time I have. Not that I can just drop what I’m doing and run off, but helping out with work in a …

The Oki Islands are the part of Japan closest to Korea. I think I heard they’re closer to Dokdo than Ulleungdo is.. something like that. I went there once for fun a while back, but it’s such a quie…
