Afternoon pick-me-up: O’Sulloc green tea from Jeju, a citrus called “Hallabong” also from Jeju, and mochi filled with red bean.

Jeju is a volcanic island in South Korea. Some elderly locals there still speak a language designated as critically endangered by UNESCO. The government has been trying to revive it, but it’s slipping away as even its teachers are not fluent.

I studied Latin for six years and would’ve given anything for an audio recording of someone speaking it in ancient Rome. The oldest voice recording in my family is of my grandmother singing on a cassette tape about four decades ago.

These days we’re flooded with records of ourselves. It can feel self-obsessed and make us cringe. Still, every time I zoom out, I appreciate it (you) all as part of a great leap in humanity’s ability to preserve itself.

Building a little space by the ocean. More information at /thenextwave coming soon.

The hallabong orange was the star of the snack plate. Very sweet and refreshing. Sending you virtual oranges: 🍊🍊🍊.
