Me, Facebook and finding opportunity

If you come to Korea then take advantage of the opportunity and NETWORK. Facebook and Craigslist is the place to find a lot of opportunity. There are internships and jobs unpaid and paid if you have a good major and skills.

One of the things I do is volunteer write for the top English Technology Website in Korea, betech.asia. It was a good opportunity to get into my field and meet with people who are hiring and building business in my chosen field.

I have a twitter account that twits about tech news in Korea : @asipofseoul
And I'm working with a few start-ups freelancing and learn the industry.

I also attend meet ups such as Business in Korea, Drink Entrpreneurs and Seoul Tech Society.


Don't waste your time drink your life away with good soju and makgeolli , meet people and create a future.
There's a magazines always looking for writers too.

Me, a Bus and suncheon

So when most people go on a vacation, they go to Busan or Jeju, however, my Korean friend is from Suncheon so instead I went to Suncheon.

Sunncheon is a little bit bigger than the size of Jackson but Suncheon has a bus system. Check out my pictures below

Reasons Why Americans so study in Asia

I've come to the conclusion that more Americans should study abroad or go to college in Asia. Here are my top five reasons:


1. There are no good jobs in America for recent college grads
2. You can attend one of the top universities in the world instead of a 6th tier US university...for a lesser price.
3. You will be in Asian Silicon Valley. Therefore, there is is more potential for advancement
4. When you return to the US you will be bilingual in one of the toughest languages in the world to learn.
5.  Asian Food.

Me and my second love, Jeon

So Jeon is basically, a Korean pancake. It has veggies and seafood inside, and it is VERY delicious.
It you're a tourist you'll probably go to namdaemun to try jeon but if you really want HUGE great Jeon then you should go to Hoegi station. There are Jeon house there. That sale really big jeon.

So if you go to Hoegi station and out of Exit #1. Go up that street and around the corner. You get to a street with jeon houses.


(Up the street past this sign then....)

 (Turn on to this street and go until ....)

(you see this place....bring cash)

 This is the most delicious appetizer is basically a graham cracker

(this is ddoekboki)

 (weird corn thing)

 And the best thing in the entire world...JEON(i forgot to take a pic before i ate it. It's really big and can feed 2-3 people. If you're of age try it with makgeoli which is traditional korean rice wine. I only drink it with Jeon. it taste like dimatapp)

 (extra seafood soup. remember red means spicy.)

And now I'm hungry and want Jeon.

Me, the subway, and a lot of getting lost

Mississippi is so small compared to  Seoul. There is no subway , and the bus system is a joke. However in Seoul, that is all there is. When I first came to Korea, I got lost at least 3x a week on the Subway but now I ride like a pro. I've memorized my regular routes, and can either use the map to find my connect or have my phone do it for me.


What do you need to know to ride the Subway in Korea?

1. Map reading skills and a slight sense of direction.
2. When that fails download the app " Jihachul ". You put in your location and your destination and then you're good to go. It even tells you the best car to transfer in.

3. There's a bus app but I still haven't downloaded it yet, but it's good.  It's called 지도.

4. If you are lost you have two options:
      a. Try to ask a Korean for directions and hope they don't run away.( Yes, the fear of speaking English is very strong in Korea)
      b. Find a police officer and cry frantically. I've been told they are very helpful and may even    call you a cab.
