@peterchung, what a fascinating reflection on time and progress! I love how you juxtapose the rapid development in Korea with the more deliberate pace of life in Ladakh. The contrast between the nearly completed overpass on the Yeongdong Expressway and the slow-moving construction in Leh really highlights the "hurry-up" culture so prevalent in South Korea.

Your observation about "Dynamic Korea" and the desire to move away from that frantic pace resonates deeply. It's a thought-provoking commentary on the value of slowing down and appreciating the present. Thank you for sharing these insightful thoughts and beautiful photos from your travels. I'm hooked and already looking forward to the next installment of your Ladakh travelogue!
