Welcome to my world! The world you have just entered is a pretty bland one. I work, play, and travel just like any person. I do have some uncommon interests and an occasionally warped perspective. This world has yet to reflect many of my eccentric qualities, however.

But the H1N1 flu has changed something in my environment: soon after confirmed cases have appeared at KAIST, I noticed a hand dispenser that was not there suddenly appearing ...
