So I have been living in Korea for almost 8 years and throughout my time here I have stumbled across a number of apps that have made my life while teaching easier and increased my experience while in Korea. The apps I have chosen do require a little bit of effort to understand if you don't know Korean. But a lesson I have learned out here is that spending a couple hours translating and understand some of these apps has made important improvements to the quality of my life. The trade is totally worth, but warning to the squeamish when it comes to Korean, this blog is graphic. This might be a little biased but and I am sure I will catch some heat for saying this, but if you have not already picked up a smartphone it would be wise to pick up an Andriod phone, a newer version of Samsung. I don't say this to shame Iphone or any Iphone fans, it is just that after being here so long I realized more things are geared towards Andriod than Iphone, maybe that is Korea's way of prom...

The aim of this blog is to explain all the things that my friends and I have figured out during our time here in South Korea. We have all be here for around 10 years and we constantly talk about, if I knew this or that 10 years ago. Man. Those reflective moments are the ones we want to share with you!
If you have just arrived in Korea and have no idea what is going on...Follow this blog! I am sure that you will find something here sooner or later that will save you, from headaches and overall just improve your whole stay while you are here. Short term or long term. All are welcomed!
So whats our future plan? We will make the ultimate eBook guide to living in Korea. From the small daily things. To things that you would not even think is possible until you have spent 5 years or more ignorant to the possibilities, kicking yourself like a lot of us long term foreigners. The eBook will serve as a short cut. Detailed. Enlightening. And relaxing...you know, giving you peace of mind that you have done things the right way and avoided the bumps in the road.
"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." --Martin Luther King, Jr.
