Broken Glass Theory

Whenever it comes to autumn, there is a battle for me: cleaning up the fallen leaves ASAP everyday..

Some says I am stupid (the tree across my street is huge and has tons of leaves) to clean up everyday (instead of doing one time), but it actually saves my labor due to Broken Glass Theory…

Intended or not by walking pedestrians, I always find more trashes on my sidewalk when the streets gets messy with fallen leaves..:(

Picked this famous Issac Toast’s sauce from Shinsegae Duty Free Shop at Incheon Airport. They proudly say this is only sold as export model (to protect their local franchises)

Tasted good but honestly I have no idea as I never had a chance to eat at Issac Toast

Clearing 3 movies on a flight back to home from Seoul has always been the challenge..so I was able to watch The Devil Wears Prada 2, the latest one of Now You See Me, and maybe half of F1 The Movie….

Good list of movies but unfortunately I had to give up my last high hope for meals on Alaska Airlines..

This is a major disappointment/step back as I have always enjoyed Alaska’s good meals on domestic flight and really enjoyed Hawaiian’s meals at the same trip last year.

(now I feel bad that I simply considered recent meals I had in American & British Airways as “good” – those were actually “much better good” than what Alaska serves….)

I regret I should have filled more on Oneworld Lounge in Seoul/Incheon πŸ™‚
