CURRENT MISSION

To see all the 7 wonders in the world...even the ones that don't exist anymore...I'll invent the time machine if I have to!

ABOUT ME

Holy crap how am I still in Korea???? So after an eventful year at English Village, I find myself teaching in a Public School, in Sanbon-dong in the proud and wonderful Gunpo City. I'm not exactly sure what the city's mottos are (i.e. Happy Suwon and Good & Great Paju, etc) but proud and wonderful seems to be in line with what the general populace of this tiny little vein of the Greater Seoul Area thinks of their space in Korea.

While I am living in Korea, this year it is but a temporary measure, as I am plotting my escape to somewhere where life is valued more than being in front of a computer, not necessarily getting stuff done, and yet still is considered "work".

PHILOSOPHY

hmmm....why do I live my life? To see as much of the legacy that we as a species have left behind. I love history, I love learning about different philosophies and religions in this world and how they relate to various cultures and their time periods. Mostly I love how everything connects. Egyptian mythological idolatry can be found in modern day Christianity...I LOVE that kinda stuff! I love the idea that life and spirituality is allowed to evolve (Despite certain feelings in the world!) and that we're all here to add our own little piece to the legacy that our civilization is leaving as we speak.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen and walked upon the streets of Pompeii. I have seen the burning place of Cesar and seen the ruins of the ancient Roman Senate. I've seen the statue of David, and this was truly awe inspiring!

Apparently I've seen some cool stuff in Korea, but enh.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you were to come to visit me in Canada, I would definately be able to impart upon you some Canadian history, mainly history about the War of 1812. The Niagara Region, the place where I grew up is right by the American/Canadian border and saw a lot of battles during this war.

I would also be able to take you around the Toronto music scene, especially if you came round during NXNE (north by northeast) which is an AWESOME music festival in the Tdot!
I will also by that point be able to give you any informatio you may need on teachign English in South korea, what's a good deal, what isn't and definately who NOT to teach for (i.e. KYEONGGI ENGLISH VILLAGE)
