It's when the Americans already went to bed but the Europeans didn't wake up yet. I'm in South Korea and around lunch even sorting by "New" doesn't give me any new posts, sometimes up to one hour.

I know it's a cliche but try posting yourself. That's the only way places like this grow. I don't particularly enjoy posting so I try my best to keep conversations flowing and add discussion to posts without much going on. Every little bit helps.

To that end, what's your favorite thing about South Korea? I don't really know all that much about it. Are you from there or working there or what?

Yeah it started with work, I was here for a 3 month business trip. But then I met someone here and asked to be sent on another and one more business trip :D But because it was during Covid I had to stay 2 weeks in quarantine every time I went back to Sweden to renew my visa ^^. (see my quarantine vlog: https://tube.jeena.net/w/p/qG3KZrSACw4QvTQ23prqXR )

After in sum 2 months in quarantine I asked them to move me to the Korean office ( see: https://tube.jeena.net/w/uuQegxjHagGpHhXXDMBGJg ) , that was 3 years ago and we have a one year old son by now already ^^.

Aww hell, you made me get all teared up. Congratulations!

Edit: I poked around your Jtube and your baby is adorable!
