[NORMAL DAYS IN KOREA] Urban farming with my relatives!


My aunt and auntie are living in the far-east region of Seoul. So there are relatively less pollution and more proportions of green fields. The local district government is also encouraging citizens to utilize the green fields in the district. The urban planning was one of the policies that encourage people to use green fields effectively.
The overall glimpse of the urban farming field.
I felt kind of weird but surprised at this point ...πŸ˜‚
The Sauron looked like a creature is called 'Lotte World Tower'. The tallest (in 2017) skyscraper in South Korea.
My family helped to harvest aunt's farming field.
I accidentally killed(?) too many lettuces here by mercilessly extracting their leaves. But I found that those lettuces grow rapidly than any others so I got fewer worries!

A WEEK LATER...

The heavy rain season has begun by the end of June. My aunt, auntie and I assumed that those plants already got abundant water in few past days. So we went there again.

Well, likely to our expectation, lots of crops were grown enough to be eaten.
And we took this to home and ate them as a side dish..!

And my aunt said...
The harvest of lecctuces and tomatos are finished for this year. Now it's the time to seed a potato and yam!

[NORMAL DAYS IN KOREA] Review on Jamsil baseball stadium

As an avid Lotte Giants fan, I could not miss an opportunity to watch a match held in Seoul. There was a match between Lotte Giants and Doosan Bears on 23rd June. I had no hesitance to buy a ticket for that. I went to the stadium with my friend, who is a fan of the Doosan Bears. The ticket costs approximately $10.5 per person (weekday fare/The second floor and Infield seats). It was a reasonable price. This is a waiting queue to enter the baseball stadium. I could see many Lotte fans visit here to root for Lotte as I do. Basically, Jamsil Baseball Stadium is a baseball stadium located between the business area and the residential area of Seoul. Thereby Jamsil Stadium always has relatively more fans than those of any other stadiums.  Food that I ate in the stadium. Well-grilled Korean BBQ was a nice choice for me during watching a game. This is one of the remarkable rooting chants(?) ever I experienced in my life. This is basically a chant that disturbs...

[URBAN PLANNING NEWS] New form of GIS, Alibaba's ET Brain (and my thoughts on it)

Two days left until the Winter Olympics finished in my home country! During my spare time, I read an article on the Olympics' official sponsors, and there was an interesting system that may greatly affect the usage of GIS in fields of urban planning and urban management. It was Alibaba's ET brain! <Image referenced from here > As Alibaba named it as a ' brain ', it literally works like a human brain . The human brain first gathers information received by sensory devices and delivers the gathers to the hippocampus.  It refers to the ET's <Data aggregation> . Secondly, the hippocampus will rehearse the received information in order to construct a stronger memory. Well just think of ' Stronger and more sophisticated hippocampus' for the step of 'Data convergence! Lastly, when the data are accumulated enough to calculate the fashion, like constructing a solid long-term memory , the 'Intelligent development...
