I was recently trying to explain to a friend exactly how amazing Noreabang (pronounced NO-REE-BHAANG) is when he said to me “Yeah, I went to Karaoke night at this pl-” SHUT UP.

The past few days, I have been thinking of what the near future holds for me. I have to decide whether to keep teaching, whether to stay in Korea and if I leave, where do I go? The answers aren’t obvious to me although I suppose they appear so to others. Unlike most people, I…
