After a long day touring the Demilitarized zone between North and South Korea, I'm feeling hungry! An American guy from my tour (we can call him Cameron, or we can call him Hottie Marine, but I think Hottie Marine is more fun), asks me if I've tried gabli ... Read more >

Love and hate

Mon, 28 Apr 2014 | By eclipsememory | Views [306] | Scholarship Entry

This is my third year of third time in South Korea. Of course, for someone it wouldn`t sound impressive, probably you work here as an English teacher for 7th year. For someone, it may sound confusing: "Why South Korea?". For this I don`t have an answer.... Read more >
