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: Krema

January 3, 2008July 28, 2023 Brian Dye6322 Comments on KMK: Krema

Krema is a coffee shop and cafe located in Shinchon. The place proved to be a great spot to escape the rain and grab a cup of steamy hot mocha love. As you can see below Krema, is “working hard for your life.” And, you know, if coffee wants to work hard for me then […]

January 2, 2008July 29, 2023 Brian Dye5241 Comment on KMK: Happy New Year!

KMK: Christmas at Geckos

December 27, 2007October 26, 2023 Brian Dye475Leave a Comment on KMK: Christmas at Geckos

On Christmas I had dinner with Amanda and Samarra at Geckos. The dinner was for charity and let me tell you the buffet spread was definitely worth the 40,000 won. Wolfhound and Rocky Mountain Tavern also had charity dinners, but I think Gecko’s had to be the best because they’ve been doing it longer. I […]
