Hair can be swept away. Paw prints can be wiped away.
But the traces they leave in our hearts remain there for eternity.

I was just scrolling down Instagram when I came across a post saying,
The Korean equivalent of “Finding a needle in a haystack” is "looking for Mr. Kim in Seoul."

And that made me laugh, it’s just funny for no reason. :grin:

Yeap, I’ve heard that a bunch of times while watching Kdramas. It’s because the ancient people of Joseon weren’t allowed to name their children after royalty… Until they were. That’s when all the parents in Korea decided in unison to call their newborns Kim, the name representing a super important royal lineage. :crown:

Translates; “life is” or “That’s life”. Usually said when someone else is complaining about their life or as a sigh. When life sucks, you need to come to terms with the situation and move on/make the most of it.

“None so poor that one couldn’t help, nor none so rich that one wouldn’t need help.” A reflection of a Finnish mindset and a common saying.

@mirjam_465, @vivi_1485 and @gaby_heitmann_975, There is another saying regarding the last name Kim. It goes something like “If you throw a rock from Namsan (mountain in Seoul), you have a 50% chance of hitting someone with a last name Kim”. Btw, my last name is Kim. lol
