๐Ÿ”ฅthree small things from Korea this week

Seoul hit 29.8 degrees on October 12, then rain overnight and highs drop by about 8 degrees, so the summer clothes can finally go away. Men's and women's basketball both won Asian Games gold for the first time in 12 years, and the leagues just announced bonuses, 100 million won for the men and 150 million for the women. The palace ticket price rise planned for January (Gyeongbokgung has been 3,000 won since 2005) is now officially "undecided", so the bargain lives a bit longer.

hanbok free entry is the best pr korea ever did, the whole street by gyeongbokgung is rental hanbok because of it lol

Basketball gold is lovely, but in this house the real news is that it's finally cold enough for the floor heating.

3,000 won for Gyeongbokgung is still one of the best deals in Seoul. And hanbok wearers get in free.

minus 8 overnight is official permission to have ramyeon for dinner. thank you, Seoul weather

150 vs 100 just reads as the leagues paying for the gold to me. Not sure what there is to fight about.

My father-in-law will hear the palace price is staying and treat it as a personal win.

Beat host Japan twice in Nagoya on the way to gold. Someone in Japan is having a bad week.

29.8 in October is wild, even Houston cooled down before that

Honestly I've been in shorts all week and I'm not complaining.

ondol season starting is the real new year in korea. first night of floor heating and everybody sleeps like a cat lol

7Kettlecorn2026.10.12

29.8 and then minus 8 overnight. Korean weather writes better plot twists than the dramas

7sleepy_orbit2026.10.12

29.8 in October, then minus eight overnight. Pick a season, Seoul.

7orbit_kid2026.10.12

29.8 today, about 8 less tomorrow. My office will run the heater and the AC on the same day and call it balance.

'Undecided' is not 'cancelled'. I'd visit the palace before January.
