So I've made it through my second week of teaching. I can't believe how fast it has gone! This week was much easier as I've developed a few new methods of controlling the kids, namely bribary and denial of games but it works! It's been interesting to talk with other teachers this week and share experiences, most of whom have agreed that they wer...

Hi All,

Well, I've made it through my first week of teaching, somewhat successfully I think. The barrier of success is pretty low though at the moment, and the fact that I came back after the weekend is what I call a success at the moment!

My schedule is pretty good, teaching Kindegarton class in the mornings, I think the kids are...

That is certainly my tip for anybody coming to Korea. I must admit that I have never been more afraid in my life to do even the most simple things, like leaving my flat, taking the bus or ordering in a restaurant. The fear of leaving your flat for the first time is that you may never find your back. A scenario that I joked about with my mother w...

So, I landed totally jetlagged and ill, in a word shattered, in Ulsan, where the driver mister Lee seemed surprised that mister Adrien C. was actually me. Maybe he was expecting a gringo frenchie.

The first thing that struck me before landing in Ulsan, was the sheer number of refineries, chemical plants, and factories in general. These we...

This last weekend, I went on a little day trip to the countryside. It was nice to get out of Busan, and to see the area getting closer to Fall. My friend Kim and I went to a few temples about an hour north of Busan, in Yangsan. We first went to Tongdosa temple, not knowing there was going to be a festival that day!!! I guess it was the temple's ...

April has gotten off to a nice start! Last Friday was a special night - not only did I get to see Namgyu (who I probably haven't seen since November), but I gave my disco ball to Yes! and we got our Yes! t-shirts!! We also met some cool new Korean dudes (thanks to Brandon, as always). We had dinner with Kang, Fred, and Jeon - that's when Namgyu ...

The end of February is nearing. I was never one for holidays, but working during the week you start to love national days that you have to have off of work! February has been pretty quiet, with more of the usual. We played some more poker, met some more of Kang's friends, and went out with a couple new Korean friends. Stephen had some of his stu...

I apologize for the delay in updating. Life has kept me pretty busy and I wouldn't wish it any other way. Earlier concerns I had about having time to catch up after New Year's are gone since our school cancelled the extra morning classes (a relief, although the extra money would have been a plus). Last I posted, I had caught everyone up through ...

Hello everyone. I've made it safely to the other side of the world and have begun to settle in. I set up my apartment just the way I like it, and have already begun settling in. I've also met my co-workers, some of whom seem like they will become fast friends. Things are exciting and hopeful. But don't think I don't miss all of you, because I do...

This update is definitely overdue. It's been three weeks since I last posted and plenty has been going on. Tuesday August 15 was a holiday and I spent it with Yuran and four other Koreans. She had gone on a blind date with one of the fellas and the other three folks were his friends. We met in the morning and rode out into the countryside to Yan...
