Korea
cross-posted from: https://jemmy.jeena.net/post/11612 > After 2 years I'm still not used to it, it's not that bad yet but I remember having to run the AC in dry mode for a month or something because everything above 70% humidity just makes me change my underware every two hours.
I guess some of you have seen one of the pictures go around the internet of the Korean buff Jesus statue. Just today I saw it on r/funny and r/korea: https://www.reddit.com/r/korea/comments/14gbeuo/korean_crossfit_jesus_is_this_a_real_thing_in/ I went there to see it two years ago, and I found the place, but the whole thing was gone. You could still see where it once was, it was in kind of the backyard of a christian church, but that church also seemed empty, at least nobody was there so I couldn't ask anyone about it. Then I drove away and stopped at another church not far away. There was a priest and we asked him about the Korean buff Jesus and he said nobody knows exactly but some year or so before I went there was a big fight between the Buddhists and the Christians around there and the Christians destroyed or stole some Buddha and people thing that in retaliation the Buddhists stole the buff Jesus. At least that were the rumors this christian priest heard. It's a shame that it's gone because it was an awesome depiction of the son of God.
Does anyone know of an instance hosted locally? If not, I'm happy to set one up. May need helping administrating it, though. I've noticed that other server instances can be quite slow, so I thought a local instance would be a nice latency reduction, depending on how exactly ActivityPub works. I haven't read up on the protocol yet. If it doesn't respond to the client until the remote federated instance responds, then there'll likely be no gain in speed

This is the closest I ever came to the North Korean border. It is not the normal tourist tour to the DMZ, I might do that some day too, instead I'm looking over the water towards North Korea, behind a military checkpoint.

My fiancé and MIL make this soup quite often. It's very light and doesn't have many ingredience. The raddish is the giant non spicy white one.
Because r/korea went private I thought at least some of the people would migrate to one of the lemmy communities about Korea, but looking at https://lemmyverse.net/communities and search for Korea, the most active communities there are about North Korea.
