Incheon I love you, but you're bringing me down

Incheon I love you but you’re bringing me down Incheon I love you but you’re making me frown. Like a dog in a cage such a delicious young age. Incheon I love you but you’re bringing me down. [[MORE]] Incheon you’re safer and I’m wasting my time. Unlike Songtan you’re perfectly fine. But they’ll shutter their stores to Hanguk troubadours ...

We're all running away from something: Part 2

The idea that there is that much to do and see in Korea is somewhat bogus. People will come here to escape whatever is ailing them. Whether it is a recent divorce at the age of 40, or the inability to settle down and live out their 20s wandering the globe until they’re 30, there is always something to run away from. Whether you’re at crossroads in your 20s and you don’t know what...

Teaching in South Korea: We're all running away...

There is no more perfect escape from one’s problems than to travel halfway around the world and take a job that you were never truly qualified for in the first place. The fact that you may have traveled outside of the US is most likely a minor, necessary qualification, but for the most part the requirements are quite low. Have a Bachelors Degree? Check. No felonies on your record? Check....

I wish my job didn't exist, Part 2

I once asked one of my students, who what I would equate to a sophomore in a US high school, how many classes she had. She answered at first with an, “I don’t know.” After some more prying, she thought about it a little more and answered with, “uhm… 14?” Fourteen classes. Yes, nearly double what I took in High School (8). Now sure, New Mexico doesn’t have the best education...

I wish my job didn't exist

Yes sure, this seems like a foolish and naïve thing to say during a time of a global economic depression but most of you who are reading this haven’t had the job that I’ve had for the eleven months. Yes, my 365 days in Korea are winding down as I pack up my boxes and figure out the logistics of my upcoming trip to Europe, I look back on a few topics that I wish I had written about...

PSY- Gangnam Style →

A hilarious take on the younger generation in Korean culture. English lyrics are posted below: Oppa is Gangnam style Gangnam style A girl who is warm and humanle during the day A classy girl who know how to enjoy the freedom of a cup of coffee A girl whose heart gets hotter when night comes A girl with that kind of twist I’m a guy A guy who is as warm as you during the day A guy who...

A St. Patrick's Day so good, there are no pictures...

A St. Patrick’s Day so good, there are no pictures to prove it As I do most weekends, I bring my DSLR in the hopes that there will be something ridiculous enough or silly enough to photograph. However it turned out this that I’d not make any use of it all night. Though somewhat cumbersome to drag around, it turned out for the best as it was one the most enjoyable St. Paddy’s...
