I’m a blogger, writer, and teacher. I’ve been working in South Korea’s ESL field for the last three years. My one year contract has unexpectedly turned into a journey that I’m still on and loving.

KMK: Kabinett

March 29, 2009July 30, 2023 Brian Dye793Leave a Comment on KMK: Kabinett

When searching for a glass of wine to relax and unwind I suggest Kabinett in Itaewon. The wine bar is located next to the Itaewon hotel.

Well, now you can, sort of, thanks to the good folks at […]

KMK: Imax 63 style

March 16, 2009July 29, 2023 Brian Dye587Leave a Comment on KMK: Imax 63 style

If you haven’t been then I recommend the Imax experience at the 63 building. More than likely you have been to an Imax show. If not then you’re truly missing out. The huge screen totally engulfs your vision to make you feel as if you’re part of the show. My brother and I ended up […]
