KMK: Public Schools

March 25, 2009October 16, 2015 Brian Dye8148 Comments on KMK: Public Schools

I’m well into the third week of my new public school job so I think this would be a good time to give you all my impressions so far. First, I’ll throw in a little context. I came to the public school system from two years of hogwon indentured servitude. Hyperbole aside I had dealt […]

KMK: Shoot ’em up Seoul Style

March 20, 2009July 29, 2023 Brian Dye529Leave a Comment on KMK: Shoot ’em up Seoul Style

KMK: VIPS the last supper

March 13, 2009July 29, 2023 Brian Dye621Leave a Comment on KMK: VIPS the last supper

For our end of contract dinner my coworkers and I decided on VIPS. You can find the Denny’s style restaurant over Seoul. Our VIPS of choice is right outside Gangnam Station exit 7 on the second floor a few buildings down. Vips has a standard menu, but everyone in our party opted for the buffet. […]
