I've
always hated the idea of blogging. No offense to blogger.com, but
whenever someone said the word "blog" I automatically envisioned some
sad person talking about a mundane experience similar to something that
thousands of people have already done. They took a picture of a beach,
talked about how scary it was to try some food or went bungee jumping
and now their whole life is different.
Fuck all that shit.
Due
to my initial negative exposure to the idea of blogging, I shied away
from the idea and instead just told the stories that I collected from
living in Korea 3.5 years at bars, parties or other times when a story
seemed relevant to a conversation. Recently however, I have been told by
many people that they thoroughly enjoy my stories and have been asking
whether or not I kept up a blog that they could look at.
After
enduring this conversation many times, I have decided that there is
enough interest from people about my time in Korea, when I say Korea I
do mean South Korea, that some of my stories warrant a blog of their own
to entertain, educate or give clarity to people who are curious about,
traveling to or have already been to Korea.
A few things to consider:
I
promise you that all of these stories are 100 percent accurate and are
not meant to sway people into believing in anything in particular. They
are just simply an account of what happened to me and the people around
me while I was living in Korea for 3.5 years. However, I did change the
names of people in the story to fictional ones. I know that in reality
you will most likely never come across the people I named in the
stories, but I just figured I did not ask their permission so it would
be in bad taste for me to talk about them using their real names. Also, it will take me a while to write all my stories down so just be patient. If you like what you see, check in every once in a while because more are soon to follow.
Enjoy!
