I just wanted to show you some pictures that I have come to treasure. These photos were taken while on one of my many hikes. I just didn't want to take these while walking on the streets because I felt like getting above the tree line and rewarding you with some Fall Foliage. Enjoy!Thank you for checking me out. If you want to see the other photos go to the "Photo's...

So yeah there is none! As the days in darker more quickly as Fall dashes toward Winter I was looking forward to Day Light Savings Time. When I was younger I always seemed to forget but that's what God made Mother's for, because she would always give an announcement to the family that we could either stay in bed for an extra hour or be forced to rise an extra hour earlier....

The rules of disciplining students has extremely changed and many of Foreign teachers may not be aware of this. The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education has announced a decree issuing a Complete Halt of Student Corporal Punishment of Any Kind. Before I get into this topic I want give you a brief synopsis of South Korean schools and their previous disciplinary tactic's....

Now I know that we don't spend a lot of time together, baby I know that. But you know that I am out here trying to make things happen and get this money. I appreciate you staying here with me through it all and these silly escapades into my life in SK is the only way that I can connect with you anymore. So before I put on the Barry White album and I light you up like...

This had to be one of the most awesome things that I've seen in my entire trip thus far. I was on my way to a big department store (Lotte Mart) to pick up some items that weren't carried in closer stores and learn a new bus route when I came across this couple. Now I'm no stranger to love, but I will say that this simple display of cooperation really made look at relationships...

Yep that's right, you read that correctly. I almost didn't believe it when I heard it myself but I assure you that YES such a place exists in South Korea. Oddly enough there is not a lot written on this place but I thought I'd do my readers a solid and give them the scoop. Now why is GameStop so important? The reason that I felt that this place was blog-worthy is because...

Just the other day I went back to Yangju City Hall to go see live performance. If you can recall the last time I went to City Hall I was able to see the Janguu Drum Performance. This time however, I got to see a very talented group called NANTA. NANTA is a very popular Korean culinary themed percussion group (so think of STOMP but with pastry chef hats). And I have got...

It has been my primary concern to establish and maintain a good social network with living in South Korea. Namely because things happen well outside of my control on a daily basis and not having fully mastered the Korean language I am at the mercy of inference. And while I am wasting time playing the Guessing Game attempting to decipher a news clip or understand an imperative...

As of August 29th I am officially the only English teacher at my employers hagwon (private school). I really don't know what to say about the recent change in the work schedule, namely because I saw it coming a mile away. While I stay fairly nonchalant about most things I will say that my next 6 months of work cut out for me. With the budget being tight and the potential...

I recently asked my employer how to get rid of some clothes and she immediately asked me "Why?" I told her that since I moved out here I have lost so much weight I am now not able to fit into a majority of my clothes anymore. Although this is a really great feeling; it is instantly capped when I think about shopping for new clothes at trendy Korean Outlets:Yikes!! Well...

Sometimes I forget that not all of my posts have to be of an Earth shattering magnitude. I was frantically weaving in and out a busy crowd while riding the subway when I felt really thirsty. By some clear stroke of luck I saw of the silhouette of a vending machine out of my peripheral. As I was taking out my wallet to purchase a drink I quickly began to realize what I...

So I wanted to apologize for my long hiatus from writing. I have been away learning the many lessons of life while traveling around South Korea. At first I didn't want to write because I didn't think that I could truly articulate the awesome magnitude of how I felt when I went to Gyeonggondo Beach and laid on the sand at night. And how I felt both Still and Calm while...

On the 5th of September I had my 24th birthday. Actually I know there is no cultural or custumary significance toward achieving this milestone but it served to be a very important day for me. Since the beginning of this year I set my New Years Resolutions pretty high and after I moved to South Korea I have completed the entire checklist:2010 New Years Resolutions- Read...

I was going to write a more introspective blog today but ohhh no! Some crazy loose K-9 put an end to that. Normally I keep a pretty strict regiment of running outside several times a week. Yesterday I didn't really want to run but I had some aggro built up from work (A quick shout out to all the bad kids who make my job close to impossible Yay!)I should have listened...
