Show your solidarity by heading over to my Teespring shop and buying a spanking-new 2019 Kevin's Walk tee shirt! It features a map of my route on the front, along with total distance, projected travel dates, and the names of cities that will be passed along the way. Note how the front is mostly in Korean, with only a tiny bit of English, while the back is vice versa.
The Korean letters on the back of the tee shirt are done up in a currently popular design, in which each letter represents the beginning of a word, as with an initialism. Inside the box are four rows of four characters each:
2 0 1 9
G T J J
4 D G G
D B Y H
(Technically, the "Y" in the last row is the "y" sound, as there is no actual letter "Y" in Korean, but the "y" sound can be created through the use of other letters.)
The rows spell out:
2019 = the year 2019, obviously
GTJJ = Gukto Jongju (national end-to-end path)
4DGG = Sadaegang-gil (4 Great Rivers Path)
DBYH = Dobo Yeohaeng (walking trek)
Front:
Back:
Treks like this do pack a financial punch, so if you're willing to support the walk by purchasing a tee or three, I would very much appreciate your contribution to the cause. Every dollar counts. Thank you in advance.
