Escape to the 38th

23 year old Californian currently relocated to Pohang, South Korea to be an English teacher. This is a blog detailing my year experience as a Korea Fulbright ETA with a myriad of candid photos, video confessionals, and random posts of Korean pop culture.

North Korea says it is eager to resume six-party talks on its nuclear programme “at an early date” and “without preconditions”.

Quick update about the weekend which I spent eating dirt trying to attempt to climb a mountain.  Placements will be announced soon! Eek!

This is called a Unicorn Lion … no joke!!

Here’s an update about what’s been going on the past week. Had an adventure in Donghae which is a beach/resort area in northeast Korea. This week has also been chalked full or Korean class, lesson prep, teaching, supplemental talks, extra-curriculars, volunteering, and homework. But it’s been a blast so far. Still looking forward to sleep though.

Surprise guest appearance by my roommate, Brian!!
