A new line

Our blog gets a face-lift and a new name. The Red Line is a fitting name; red means blood, and blood means life. But just the same, we will muse about life’s discoveries – of family and friends, of dogs that become family, of experiences and adventures that evolve into life’s greatest lessons. The thing about life is to see the world with interest, see the possibilities, see the humanity in every person we meet.

The Red Line is also about things we stand up blood-and-guts for – an ideology, a personal belief, or a worthy cause. At the same time, we stand up in thundering rage against prejudice and inequality, and that’s going to be our most important voice.

This month, we also start blogging for Daegu, with a team of foreign bloggers commissioned by the city government. Two weeks ago, we received our press badges and got ourselves whisked away to a place called Sacheon, a city in the province of Gyeongsangnam. Sacheon is a quiet, laid-back city that lies against a backdrop of mountains and faces a horizon where the sky meets the sea. 

It was a wonderful experience, waking up to a cold morning watching a white tugboat gliding underneath the lovely Samcheonpo bridge, and quietly disappear behind one of the tiny islands dotting the bay. 

Blogging for Daegu is off to a good start. The trip to Sacheon brought renewed enthusiasm to get back into writing, like waking up from a long, cold winter sleep. 

We’re on for some great adventures, and The Red Line is here to tell the story.
