September 2025: One month in Korea (again) - Bryan's Briefing

Hey friend,
summer is over! Writing this at the end of September, I've gone out with a long-sleeved shirt two days in a row, can't believe this after experiencing so much unbearable heat this summer. This month I have been back in Seoul and will stay here until after Chuseok / 추석.

Please reply to this e-mail with a "👋" emoji or anything! That tells the email client that this post should not go into the spam folder, which it often did last month. 🥲

Just like the last thousand times I've been to Seoul, I like it here, further convincing me that trying to earn money and improve my Korean to be able to do my masters here is a good idea.

🌱 Cool Content I Made

This month's content mainly includes only one blog post I worked on, a tour of my Obsidian vault. It includes everything I do with Obsidian and references other relevant posts. Also have been working on a Obsidian vault template on GitHub to accompany the post.
