I’m a blogger, writer, and urban explorer. I worked in South Korea’s ESL field for the 15 years. My one year contract turned, unexpectedly, into a journey!

KMK: Spartacus Blood and Sand

February 16, 2010July 29, 2023 Brian Dye5972 Comments on KMK: Spartacus Blood and Sand

Spartacus Blood and Sand. I have a new guilty pleasure. When I say guilty I mean shame faced-never-in-a-million-years-should-I-tell-a-soul guilt. It’s not any thing life threatening so don’t worry. Though it may atrophy a few of my brain cells. Still, despite that I don’t think I can give it up. It’s like an awful accident that […]

Internet Addiction. One of my favorite podcasts I listen to is On The Media from NPR. I can always count on learning something new going on back home or in some far off corner of the world. Last summer I listened to podcast about a young man in the United States suffering from Internet addiction. […]

KMK: Cibocima

February 10, 2010July 29, 2023 Brian Dye856Leave a Comment on KMK: Cibocima

  Cibocima. The day of lovers fast approaches bringing with it the dreaded deed of finding a place to dine. You can’t be too casual about choosing the place. You don’t want to take your significant other to dinner at Burger King. Nor do you want to find yourself starving for the rest of the […]
