There's a vision test, a kind of optical illusion, you may have heard of, or at least seen, called beta movement. An image, say a dot, is projected repeatedly in two different locations at increasingly rapid speeds.
This projection causes an impression of movement, so sometimes for a split second you see a new dot between the two original dots. If you freeze the frame at that point the 'new' dot disappears, because it's a ghost - it's a result of your mind, not your eyes, creating an image to try and make sense of what it's seeing.
Anyway, my mind moves constantly from Korea to other places: to England or the States; to uni; to you lot back there. This means, if my guesswork on google maps is correct, that my mind appears for a split second over Sarybasat in Kazakstan every so often, especially while I'm writing this blog. Though it's never really there.
