The tension between North and South Korea has been brought into the spotlight once again the past few months. This time it began with the sinking of a South Korean warship killing 46 seamen. The most recent event was Kim Jung Il and North Korea making threats of a nuclear deterrence. During this entire period, […]
I’m going to just put this out there: if I were single in Korea, I wouldn’t exactly be a hot commodity to Koreans. Although this is just a theory of mine, I think I have observed Korean couples enough within the past 4-5 months to feel like it’s true. Here’s why…
Koreans love them some alcohol. They love them some alcohol in the morning, in the afternoon, at night, and then again in the morning. And then when they’re at work, they love them some alcohol at lunch with their coworkers and bosses. It never seems to end. Before coming here, Jason and I were warned […]
As I write this update, Jason and I have been cooped up in our ridiculously small quaint and charming studio apartment in Busan, South Korea due to pouring rainfall all day. We were lucky enough to find this apartment from a Korean man who speaks excellent English and rents out only to Foreigners. At a […]

Here in Korea, we have had the privilege of spending a lot of time with a family friend who happens to be 14 years old. He also happens to be taller than Jason. This friend of ours is named Jinho, and he is the subject of this post regarding the education system in South Korea. […]
Greetings from Busan, South Korea — our new home for the next 2 months. We’ve found ourselves a cozy (read: very small) studio apartment and will be settling down here for the next couple of months. Today’s post is focused around a constant battle Sharon and I experience: trying to see all of the sights […]
