If you're not sure what this post is updating, read this post first.So I've received the contract for the Legal Assurance program offered through the Kangnam Labor Law Firm and ATEK. 20,000 won a month for representation by a professional law firm sounds too good to be true, right?
One of the great things about Korean street food are pochangmachas. Literally translated as “covered wagons,” these self contained tents are like mini outdoor restaurants, and are fantastic places to start or end a night of eating and drinking.
Although life out here in the Far East can be a little strange compared to hanging out in the good ol' US of A, there are many, many things to like about being here in Korea. I did a previous post on some of those things. The first list included:
- my team at MSCO Korea - bulgogi - optional red traffic lights affectionately called "might lights" cause you "might" stop at them - cheap taxi fares - Asian pears - clean subway - police rarely give out traffic tickets - kimchi - coffee shakes - paper lamps - spicy octopus
Today was a brilliant success! Though, it didn't start out that way. Actually it began quite ominously and I had a creeping suspicion that today was going to end with me crawling into bed and hoping that the sun would hurry up and set.

It is common for Koreans to practice their English when they foreigners. It is also common for youngsters and young adult Koreans to do so to show off, or to have fun, relieve the boredom, whatever.
My mother, having come to Korea form my wedding,stepped out of a car at my soon-to-be-in-law’s apartment and we were swarmed by a hoard of elementary-school aged children yelling Hello enthusiastically enough that my mother may not have wanted to leave the car.
Dear sir ( or Mr Chris?) I chanced upon your blog through korea.com and was thankful that I can finally ask questions regading life in Korea. I'm Atikah, 18 years female from Singapore. Since I will be taking my A Level Cambridge paper to qualify for university, I am wondering if Korean universities accept A level certificate. To put it simply, I want to experience life in Korea. I have heard of the university entrance exams but do I have to undergo that?
