Portrait

Well, like most people here in Korea who are young and from Canada...I am here to pay off my outrageous student debt. So thats exactly what I am doing. Also hoping to find a korean wife lol...well until I leave that is lol. I am an english teacher at a bunch of different schools and I teach all over the map including kidergarden...elementary ...highschool...and adults! I really can't believe I am here as my english skills are not that good but once I arrived I realized that they didnt need to be as the english levels here in Korea are REALLY low. I am living in a small rural city of about 12000 called Jeongseon which is unheard of for South Korea and slowly but surely I am picking up the language. Wish me luck
