Graphic designer and illustrator Erin Jang created this wonderful poster for her nephew’s third birthday. How adorably fun! I have to say that I’m very impressed with the boy’s extensive list of meaningful subway stops. My custom map would be about the same size, and would include the following stops (from north to south): 175th […]

I had a funny pregnancy-related incident today. On my way home from babysitting, I took my usual R train from south Brooklyn to midtown Manhattan.

When I visited Korea in 2000, he was the Vice-President of Broadcasting at MBC, which is one of the main broadcasting companies in Korea. (As a side note, I’m proud to […]
