VIETNAM | Tuesday, 1 Aug 2006 | Views [2239]
Koreans work a brutal amount of hours in a week, and a brutal amount of days in a year, and unfortunately that means that so do I. On my blink-and-it's-gone vacation time in July, I jetted off to Viet Nam with my co-worker-friend Shawna looking ... Read more >

I've been a little blue lately, but... nothing cures the blues like painting yourself in mud, running full speed into the ocean to wash it off, re-applying the mud, diving into the ocean once again, and continuing the cycle until the weekend is ... Read more >

It's hard to believe I've been here for two months already. With the exception of the first half of February, when I was struck with a brutal bout of the flu, I've been so busy- either working at the school or having a good time in Korea. I've managed ... Read more >

I'm teaching English. I'm modelling an assignment on the board in which the students must research and present on a foreign country of their choice. I'm using Korea as an example and as I begin to write "The population of Korea is...", I'm ... Read more >

I'm in Bundang, a suburb of Seoul, Korea, and I will be for the next 11 months. I took a job teaching English at a private school for young kids in order to be able to live in Asia and make some money to fund future travels. Seoul is wild in a concrete ... Read more >

I suppose that this is a form of culture shock: being so sick of my breakfasts in Nicaragua that I glare at the plate when it comes to the table. I glare, and the bacon and eggs and pile of gallo pinto smiles back at me. "I hate you," I mutter ... Read more >

As soon as I stepped off the plane into the corridor leading to the air terminal in San Jose, Costa Rica, it was evident that I was in the jungle. The air in that corridor, and engulfing the rest of the country, was choryphyll-flavoured and clothed ... Read more >
