We expected at least ane dreary alley moving picture. It turns out that Matadorians' office views are anything but greyness.

My "role," an English language classroom in a eye school in South Korea, has a view on either side.

To the right, I can run across a wide, swampy rice paddy with craggy mountains behind it. The sagging farmer's shed tells me someone tends the field, but I rarely see a soul. To the left, a wide street of loud motorbikes, machine horns, buses. Shops and restaurants are stacked in narrow buildings, their brilliant signs hanging over the sidewalk. Somewhere, there's always scaffolding, e'er the noise of structure. I feel lucky for the dissimilarity.

In that location are a lot of Matadorians with lucky windowscapes, also. Staff and supporters contributed shots of their awesome views, from downtown rooftops to the Grand Canyon.
