- What am I thinking? Do I really want to do this?A look at the beginning of a lark that turned out to be 10 years of adventures and misadventures along the way. The first episode will look at what brought me to South Korea in 1996 and what experiences meet me as I landed in August of 1996. South Korea was a very different place then the small eastern coast Canadian town I was born in and very different from 2023 South Korea today. The episode will look at the first steps on the journey and will include blue underwear, fingers up noses, and tieing up 12 kindergartener in the middle of a busy street north of Seoul. So sit back and hopefully enjoy stories of a time that shaped the author and hopefully share some laughs and at least some warnings on what not to do in a new country.57 min
