New blog of a Canadian female married to a Korean - have lived in Seoul for 14 years. I don't write specifically about teaching or Korea, but it's part of my life, thus part of the blog.

Really enjoyed reading that. Thanks for sharing a bit of yourself.


Thank you T-J. You are welcome back anytime. Smile

This guy is a freakin' idiot. Sampling of his life, "I'm hiding out from dragon lady today. I wonder what my little hell raisers did today? Oh well. I will just stay in this pc bar until midnight drinking mountain dew and smoking cigarettes. Talk to you tomorrow."

Moron.

The woman who wrote the one about the time the tiger smoked the cigarette was laugh out hilarious. But she disappeared. Maybe she tried to get the tiger to quit smoking and he ate her.

The Marmot's Hole is pretty rarefied but he takes nice photos and the flame wars are very readable.

Koreabeat translates the news you REALLY wanted to read and Popular Gusts does as well, though with perhaps more of a focus on the English Language industry.

Does anyone remember the Yangpa? He was the best.

Gusts of Popular Feeling is the best in the business.

The Waygook Effect is a newer blog that has escaped the general staleness and blandness of the K-blogosphere in 2010:
