About this blog

A year in one city, at one job, in one apartment. The idea of it scares me a lot. But more than that the idea of a year in Korea excites me. A strange little wedge of land caught between giants and long known as the hermit kingdom. A place of colossal change and growth but also a strange place where the past lingers on and the cold war continues to play itself out. Also the food is good (at least at the moment).
