SEOUL (The Korea Herald/ANN): The refreshing autumn breeze offers a welcome respite from the sweltering summer, but it also heralds the season of smelly ginkgo fruits.
To tackle the annual nuisance of rotting ginkgo nuts stinking up the streets, the Seoul Metropolitan Government launched on Sept 23 a city-wide initiative in which specialised personnel will remove the nuts from trees before they have a chance to fall and rot.
