The summer of 2022 peaked early, in June, with a trip to South Korea for the Seoul International Book Fair. Founded in 1954, the SIBF was held fully in person again for the first time since the pandemic discouraged large literary gatherings, or moved them mostly online, in 2020. Masked, jet-lagged, and functionally illiterate, I wandered around the exhibits in Hall A of COEX (the equivalent of the Javits Center)—almost two hundred book-related enterprises, including publishers from China, Canada, France, and Germany—and was surprised to be greeted by name. It was not that my fame had preceded me; I was simply one of very few non-Asians in the room. I was also recognized at the booth of my publisher, Maumsanchaek, by Hanbi Na, a young woman with dyed gray hair, who turned out to be an editor.

Many travelers are opting to travel lighter to avoid baggage fees and the worries associated with lost baggage. As frequent flyers know, you can fit more than you’d think into one carry-on bag.

A Highland Park woman was recently victimized by a pair of squatters who took over her apartment while she was on vacation — wearing her clothes, using her shower and claiming the place was theirs when police came calling.
She told CBS Los Angeles reporter Lesley Marin all about the incident, which happened when she and her roommates were out of town and the couple broke into their apartment through her bedroom window.
“All my clothes, down to the underwear, the socks, my Yeezys, my pants,” Virginia Pinto recalled.

That wasn’t all they took advantage of, apparently camping out in her room, using her bed and bathing in her shower during their extensive stay, which began some time before the woman was arrested on Aug. 9, when one of the roommates returned home and came face-to-face with the squatters.

Nick Cannon and Brittany Bell are spending time together with their two children in Guam.
The Wild N’ Out host took to his Instagram to share a series of photos from their babymoon/family getaway on Tuesday.
The first photo in the carousel finds Bell, who is pregnant with the pair’s third child, posing alongside Cannon in front of the resort as he cradles her baby bump.
In the next few snaps, Cannon and Bell cuddle up in front of an absolutely stunning sunset. The comedian also shared some silly selfies with their two kids, 5-year-old son Golden Sagon and 19-month-old daughter Powerful Queen.
“Thank you to the @thetsubakitower for taking care of my family and I while in Guam! Such a wonderful experience! Hafa Adai!” Cannon captioned the post.
Fans took to the comments to show their love for both Cannon and Bell. One fan wrote: “Adorable. I’m sooooo
It’s not that I hate life at home, or that I’ll never travel again. It’s knowing that each trip is like a snowflake: unique and fleeting. You can plan a similar trip or go back to the same place, but you’ll never be able to capture its exact magic again.
As far as life’s struggles go, this one wallows at the bottom of the barrel — way, way below the actually painful stuff. But I’m not alone in feeling this way.
