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...

So there has been a lot of discussion about South and North Korea's ongoing dialectic that seems to be escalating by the day. Before I proceed with this tale of "How this began" I assure you all that I AM SAFE and sound.On March 26th 2010 South Korea lost a naval ship, the Cheonan, after an unexpected torpedo attack. This incident claimed the lives of 46 South Korean...

No, no jokes this time guys. I gotta play this one straight. I went to the Demilitarized Neutral Zone (hereby referred to as the DMZ) a couple of weeks ago. I just really had a hard time putting the whole experience into words. When I pull up the pictures on my computer and I get ready to write the words just never came until now. None of the pictures are graphic...

To begin, I had the opportunity...

The All American Diner - Food Review



A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity of doing two really neat things. The first was meeting some really cool people that are friends of my coworker. And the second was that I had the chance to experience the Korean rendition of American foods. Both of these were novel to me because since this was my first month here in South Korea I jumped at the chance to meet...

So all my hard work has finally paid off. Just in time too! My poor refrigerator was over here making threats. It was crying about something like "Child Protective Services" I don't know? Enough about my refrigerators emotional outbursts; I once ate Ramen for an entire week and I didn't cry about it! (It's called College). But seriously, I was getting anxious about...
