Yulia, but often mistaken for Julia

My story starts on a small but not so little island called Sakhalin, that Russia and Japan kept on fighting over up until the end of World War II. My great-grandparents were relocated to the island as workers by the Japanese, and once the war was over, they had no other choice but to remain living on that island as the Korean peninsula went into war, making me a third generation Russian-Korean.

Currently I live in Toronto, Canada, helping address Canada’s ageing population by bringing in skilled immigrants, and finding my way through understanding my psyche. I like to write about spirituality and astrology (spiritual astrology?), random insights on social behaviors, and moments of self-realization. Just like me, this blog is still in the making so for now that’s all I got!

Hope that whatever you read here will leave you with a taste of after-thought, perhaps give you an inspiration or realisation, or a good ol’ chuckle.
