About Me

In January 2008 I moved to Daegu, the fourth largest city in South Korea, located about an hour northwest of Busan. In reading about the city's history, I've learned that there is much more to this place than meets the eye. I've got two cameras, and I'm ready to see what happens next. I've been serving as an English teacher in Korea for over two years. By July I will know for sure if I am going to be here a fourth year.
