My daughter, my wife and I took a trip to Gwangju last autumn.
One stop was of course the May 18th National Cemetery, a memorial for those killed in the deadly attacks on citizens in 1980 ordered by then-president Chun Doo-Hwan to suppress dissent. This was the previous time South Korea was under martial law.
I'm watching closely after today's shocking executive order of emergency martial law by President Yoon and subsequent vetoing by parliament.

Reddit is really, really great.
I've been struggling to book customer interviews recently - I spent weeks writing cold emails with no response, making cold calls with getting the phone slammed or wishing to do so but being too nice, targeting and messaging on LinkedIn with no reply, asking friends for referrals. Nothing. Nada.
