Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
At the moment in Songjiang, Shanghai, China, just trying to familiarize myself with the country and the area I'm in.
ABOUT ME
I was a teacher in South Korea, Hungary, and Japan, and I'm Songjiang, Shanghai, China.
PHILOSOPHY
It's very difficult to say what I believe in, because it changes day to day. Sometimes a new day can provide a different perspective to an old problem. I don't believe in reincarnation, as far my soul is concerned. So I want to live myself according what I can I think is right. I'm not stubborn or arrogant, and I'm open to constructive criticism, because one can always change to improve oneself.
