One thing

One thing I haven't mentioned yet is that  I intend to use this blog to document my time living here in Korea.

I decided a short while ago that I would try to see how much of my food I could grow in my apartment utilizing UV lights and potato shelving and whatever other techniques I learn about. Its something Ive wanted to do for such a long time but being such a vagabond I haven't had a place to do it. An easy dangerous excuse would be that an apartment is not the idea place to grow vegetables, but Ive decided to relish the challenge. After all, If I can place a little bit of hope in peoples ability to learn to grow food in constrained conditions it would somewhat ease my mind. I'm also becoming interested in vertical farming and its implications for future world crisis and the colonization of the cosmos.

On that note, I need to be undertaking and documenting a bit more research. An appropriate example to the former is the building in which the people of the story reside. Its supposed to be a perfectly sustainable building which mirrors a common motif of their culture.

So things to expect are:
Photos of my apartment showing the 1st stages of my indoor garden. Also my own findings on anything related.
Research, sketches and designs for my own vision of a home for a culture who believes firmly in sustainability.
