I've studied quite a few minimalist blogs & videos and see several recurring themes defining what type of minimalism a person is practicing and they have three characteristics: Quantity Quality Variety Extreme Minimalist = Survivalist There are the 'Extreme' Minimalist who are surviving on literally just a few unique items.  They live in a tiny home or out of their car and probably could fit their entire life in a single backpack.  A true nomad of the modern age. Quantity = LOW Quality = HIGH (ideally) Variety = LOW Casual Minimalist Then there are the 'Casual' Minimalist that have more quantity than an Extreme Minimalist and generally wavers between quantity and variety.  There are many approaches and some Casual Minimalist may have 5 white t-shirt or 5 t-shirts, one of a different color and anywhere in between.  All can be considered a Casual Minimalist.  For me I'm somewhere in the middle and limit myself to 3 color of t-shirts (White, Gre

Found it on sale at Lotte World for 11,000 Won.  I think the reason it was so cheap was because it uses a fixed adapter for the Mini-USB / Lightning that'll soon be obsolete in a few years as the new USB-C connector becomes predominant.  For now, most of my devices use these connections in the foreseeable future. I'm quite happy with the much larger capacity 5000 mAh as I was surviving on a smaller 2,200 mAh portable battery pack.  I'm not a fan of the massive 10,000 mAh or larger behemoths and think this one will be more than sufficient for my brief trips. Update 9/10/18 This battery pack sucks!  Other than a blinking blue light, you cannot tell how much charge remains and it doesn't seem to recharge properly; after a few minutes it just stops blinking and I had to reconnect the charging cable, then a few minutes it stops again.  Dont buy cheap crap like this again.

Decided to spend a full week in South Korea rather than try split it between two countries.  This turned out to be a wise decision as I could just relax and take a leisurely pace.  Previously, I spent only shorter stays of a few day in Busan so it felt like I couldn't get my fill of certain places.  I decided to remedy that by spending a week here and really take in certain locations.  That worked and now I'll be satisfied with brief visits in the future. Day 1 - Incheon Hyatt Arrived in the evening and spent a night at the Hyatt.  Ordered room service (Pasta + Caesar Salad).  They still have a mini-fridge and tried a Cass Beer (not half bad) .   Day 2 - KTX (Incheon -> Seoul -> Busan) Due to Olympics there is no direct train connection from Incheon to Busan and had to make a brief stopover @ Seoul Station.  Picked up a Box Lunch and had my first cup of coffee in Busan.  Dinner was @ Vikings Buffet. Day 3 - Lotte World, Busan Woke up early and walked to
