North Korea is just a punk who needs to be ignored. That’s the general consensus of the many articles I’ve read about what’s going on these days in the Korea. CNN has a really good read about this situation. It says, in essence, that all of this war talk is just North Korea doing its [...]

Ahhh, yes, let’s address head on the issue of money as a teacher in South Korea. As I have written elsewhere, you usually make about $24,000 a year as an English teacher in South Korea. One of the nice things about that is this leads to to something of a utopia because really there is [...]

Happy 6.25 War Day, everyone, let’s see some horrible images of life in a North Korea gulag! I am not advocating an attack on North Korea, but the North Koreans constantly remind me that if we use the same logic that got us into Iraq, we should have long ago invaded North Korea. But we don’t [...]

A facebook group has also sprung up to combat this instance of Korean racism, with at least one of the more prominent members belonging to the group which attacked me a few weeks ago for complaining about racism in Korea.

Vang Vieng in Laos holds a special place in my heart. I went there in 2009 and ended up staying significantly longer than I had planned. I love Loas and its people and all things being equal would love to do a tour with the Peace Corp helping the people out. Even though I’m becoming an old [...]

Oh, my knucklehead Koreans. I love Koreans because they’re a lot like me — they can be their own worse enemy at times.

I speak only for myself. I was against the war in Iraq with a passion. It was a dumb, stupid war that was done for no reason other than greed and ego on the part of George W. Bush. I was so angry about the war that I spent $30 express mailing my absentee ballot voting against [...]

Writer’s Note: The following article is my polemic yet sardonic update to my past writings to provide an unvarnished take on the ongoing financial crisis and what stage we’re now entering.
