COVID-19 surged more than 3 years ago, and as strange as the pandemic was, people can easily forget the virus situation's singularity as time passes. The Mix Coffee members decided to record our COVID experiences to not only remember the facts but to talk through how we felt and seek support from one another. I hope we can all remember the pandemic as a time when we found new ways to support our loved ones despite the uncertainty and distress many of us felt.

In this month's episode, we discuss the kinds of musicals that perform well in South Korea, how we think the peninsula would receive the Broadway musical, "KPOP," and the practice of performance as "understanding the other." Let us know your thoughts!

Go with the flow, (if you can find it.) Entering a state of flow, or immersing oneself in a single task without a thought to the passing hours, might seem impossible within societies that demand we fly from one responsibility to the next. Does our resulting "divided" attention damage our ability to connect with our work and with each other? Can we live in a world where both flow and overflow coexist?

What does it mean to work hard, play hard, and rest hard? How does the pace of life in Seoul compare to the pace of life elsewhere? Has our interaction with Korean life made us busier? We explore these questions and discuss ways to calm our own hearts in this episode about Korea's bbali bbali lifestyle. Thanks for listening!

After a long break, the Mix Coffee members are happy to present another episode!

We meander through questions such as: "What are the most popular hobbies in Korea?" "Why do hobbies seem so prevalent?" and "How have our hobbies changed during our time in Korea?"

We enjoyed talking with one another and sharing our musings, and we hope you enjoy this cozy conversation from wherever you are!
