So this blog goes out to all of you out there who are either teachers, have kids, or have small infantile siblings. I have noticed that since I've been living and working abroad I've gotten sicker on more occasions than normal. Taking into account my new diet and my new environment I wasn't too quick to point any fingers. However, after some investigating I am confident on whom to blame. It's because of my students!

Understand that children are not the most cleanliest of creatures. They like to wipe their hands and give you a Hi-five in the same motion and think nothing of it. Maybe it's because I am a germophobe but I honestly cringe every time a little kid sneeze's and asks me for a hug. UGH!! It makes me queasy just thinking about it.


As a result of this never ending waves of sickness, that my students pass off to me, I had to make a video about what had happened to me the other day while I was teaching class. It was a moment where all speculation of "I wonder if I'm sick" turned into "Yeah, I know I'm sick." And since I've been spending some quality time with my friends Chicken Noodle Soup, Vitamin C and The Bed I thought I would make a short video for ya!

While living and working abroad I have noticed that I've been getting sick at a higher rate that usual. This video is about kids and germs...enjoy!

On the up side, I have used this time to stay in contact more with family and friends. I also found an AWESOME new online radio streaming website. Since Pandora Radio does not work internationally I was distraught that my ability to find music of my particular tastes were nulled. Despite that small snag I discovered Last.fm, which for about 3 dollars a month you have unlimited access to music of any genre, without lame advertisements, and it will categorize your tracks in your profile. Now with this at my disposal I can't wait to get back to 100% so I can hit the streets of South Korea with some great new tracks!

Alright I'm off to bed. I have a long week of classes ahead of me and I want to at least try and get a little better. However when I am better I will be moving around in the outside world again and posting some interesting blogs and videos. As always, Thanks for reading, stay healthy and I miss ya much!

Joe - OUT!

I'm back! Please hold all of you applause until the end, please. I'm switching it up in this post. Instead of writing a boring article for you to read I decided to make a boring video....(See? I told you to hold your applause).

But seriously I had a great time at this drum performance regardless of how random it was. And to commemorate this day I have hired a new staff member on the minimalist of wage $0.00 Take that OSHA! The character, Kevin Steel, will be played by myself on my Expat News show. So without further ado lets watch the embodiment of my neurosis fly out of control in: KIDNAPPED!

Everyones favorite neurotic news anchor, Kevin Steel, has returned for another installment of Expat News. While Joe describes a recent drum performance it is ruined by Kevin's interpretation of Joe's story.

Alright everyone, I hoped you enjoyed it. It took FOREVER for me to make it. So now the polls are open and I will be taking new suggestions for my next video. You can leave them in the Comments or on my Facebook and hopefully I will receive some good ideas. What do YOU want to see? Until next time, take care and stay healthy.



Joe - OUT!!
