I am teaching English in Korea for a year, and these are my experiences and adventures. Korea is a great country and I love it. Here's what it has offered me!

Boys Night Out


Matt, Kyler and I doing out best to look sober and respectable. I will let the readers decide just how successful we are. Posted by Hello

Has It Been That Long?

Wow, I guess you wouldn't want to paint me as the model of consistency, but hey, times are rough. Actually they aren't. Over the past month I have really settled in to a comfortable place here, and things have been looking really good. The weather has warmed up quite a bit, the sun has been shining (not today), and I have been studying Korean very hard. My director has taken me under his wing for Korean lessons and I have a new text book and lessons three times per week. Although I missed this Sunday's lesson, but not without good cause: I was hungover.

A rare occurance here in Korea (for me) is the hangover. I am still figuring out how I got it actually. All I did was go out for a drink with the guys, and if $20 beers at the Hyatt weren't enough to keep me from drinking too much, taxi stops at the 7-11 for beer were enough to offset. It was a full night containing gambling, drinking and suits. We looked sweet. I picked up my tailored suit that afternoon and sported it for a night on the town. Sheraton, baby, Sheraton.

It certainly was a night to remember and a Sunday to forget, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. I definitely have to get out more often though. It truly was a blast and the pictures will be up soon.

Beer and Fruit


Here are Dong Joon, Jae and Yu-Mi. We are out again for beer and fruit. MMM. I don't know who thought beer and fruit should mix, but it certainly wasn't and isn't me.

Icelandic Girls


We met these nice Icelandic girls on a tour of one of the local temples. I was dumbfounded that there we actually people coming to Korea for a, get this, vacation! I thought that that fact alone was worth getting to know them for. We went out for a nice dinner and we parted ways, but they were very nice as I am sure all Icelandic people are.
