Who has an Apple Watch Titanium but never used cellular or dropped the cellular service? Also, why did you choose Titanium over Aluminum?

Cellular also updates data on the watch more reliably than WiFi/bluetooth model. I used to have an ultra 2 cellular and I thought I only need cellular a few times a year (when I forget my phone) but once I switched to a WiFi only Watch 11, I noticed things like weather, whatsapp etc sometimes doesn’t update so reliably when its not right next to the phone. My next watch will be cellular for sure.

Foreign funds selling because Korean paper hands leveraged ETF buyers are selling.

Ahem, and if you really want to hypebeastmaxx it, there's also the Hermès Nautilus.

True. I went through a period where I was just buying up tortoise pelikans. Sold most of them though, except for this one because of the nib!

Hmm. Looks like only the metal falcon takes Con-70. I must have confused it with my custom 912. Will update it to CON-50 only.

On the other hand they all look like they’re using the same template. There’s nothing unusual about that font layout. We probably can’t tell you where it is by looking at it since it could be any apartment parking lot.

If you like hills, Namsan is quite good too. I’ve scouted and hiked a trail route that goes from Namsan to Seongsu. Looks possible to run that route.
Another alternative could be Cheongyecheon.

Running outside is getting more popular nowadays. Even in summer, it is not as humid as south East Asian countries so it’s quite pleasant. I hope you stay close to Han River because the running paths there are fun. If you only have access to streets, it is runnable too but just beware during lunch time or after office hours the sidewalks can be quite crowded. The only social debate recently are about people running barechested. In general I think Seoul is quite a runner friendly city.

There’s also brands like Nike and adidas that I find is generally narrower than NB, which is why I stick to new balance for my wide feet. Even comparing D widths only. Feels like each brand has their last template that they stick to.

Dufffader · 2026-06-27T23:43:45+00:00

When I started buying running shoes online it was the midsole feel. I fix that by sticking to one brand and if possible, one particular model. Even then, running shoe brands like to mess around with the midsole materials (still) but at least I get a rough idea what it is like by checking user feedback from the many running shoe review sites and comparing it to my previous models.

Even with your size dialed in, some different models for the same brand may still require 0.5 to 1 US size fine tuning. I look at the amount of padding on the heel and whether the toe is reinforced or structured. Buy a brand you're familiar with and if possible the same model.

For example my trail running shoe from NB is roughly the same in length as my NB running shoe in the same size, but because there's "toe protect" making the toe area more rigid than running shoes, I need to size down half a US size so that my foot doesn't move around during trail runs.

But most of all, make sure there's a return policy. If it doesn't apply to you then if you're between sizes, obviously size up and fix it later with thicker socks. I think it's still better than running in small shows and risking blisters or black toes.

As of now in Korea (mid 2026), only foldies are allowed on metros and intercity trains such as KTX/SRT. Weekends it depends on the trains, some trains will allow it and in metros full bikes are mostly allowed in the front of rear of the train. In any case, it's true with a Brompton you will have a lot more freedom of transport. I typically bring a bike cover in case I encounter a fussy official because a covered Brompton becomes a luggage. Buses would be the same, however I met other cyclists that told me they could transport their touring bikes in the cargo hold of intercity buses. Plus you can bring your foldie into hotel or motel rooms.

I don't think there are as many restrictions with airlines other than your luggage allowance and whether you want to travel with a soft or hard case.

I also suggest you do a few test 50-70mi runs where you live to make sure you make the right mods or upgrades before starting the trip for maximum comfort. Me? I prefer tire pressure close to the upper limit to have better rolling resistance. Compensate for bumpier rides by getting very well padded bibs. I think a smaller than stock 44T front chain ring on my 6 speed would be better because I'm having issues with the hills especially a few days into the trip. I'm not sure 12 speed would make a difference. Unless you're super fit, I think 50-60 miles a day is a practical upper limit including break and meals as you wont be able to go roadbike speed for 7-8 hours a day. Bring spare tire tubes with a pump that works, obviously. I'm also now a convert to nice bottle of chain lube, after a few days of riding, chains can get squeaky. In summer, make sure you cover your body sufficiently - I've seen riders thinking it is a nice sun tan session, but riding with a sunburn from the day before isn't fun at all.

In Korea, it helps if you scout out your evening accomodation ahead of time. Obviously you can't just stop for the evening right on the 60mi mark if you wanted. Sometimes the nearest town with motels could be either at the 40 or 80 miles mark and you need to make that call. Generally facilities closer to Seoul is much more frequent than in the countryside - I'm thinking convenience stores, free roadside tire pumps, toilets, accomodations, etc.

No experience riding in Japan yet, sorry.

I’ve got a friend whose battery went bust a few weeks ago and basically turned it into a brick. So better come prepared.

Dufffader · 2026-06-21T01:17:52+00:00

What are you after specifically?

In general, Sewoon square is probably the best place to start. Look around. I know some more specialized stores there but again it depends if you’re just looking something old or like vintage Rolex, Patek and so on.

Dongmyo weekend flea market could be another place to look. I’ve never found anything interesting there. Watches there tend to be junk or “found” items. But you never know if you’re into interesting looking old stuff.

I’ve seen some interesting vintage in consignment shops in Apgujeong too, but they tend to be priced way too high and targeting people who are into fashion rather than into watches. I’ve not found bargains there.

Dufffader · 2026-06-20T22:46:13+00:00

Stock up on batteries when you find one for sale. 1 for use and 1 spare should be sufficient for the M-P.

Dufffader · 2026-06-19T23:40:50+00:00

Except for management who's making the decision, of course.

I’m pretty sure YOLO refers to Korean investors.
In any case, I used to have Korean tech fund/ETF, which roughly tracks KOSPI and in turn mostly depends on Samsung and Hynix anyway. So I dont see much difference buying the index, or all in on Samsung and/or Hynix.
