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 Dye7022 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 […]

KMK: Christmas at Geckos

December 27, 2007October 26, 2023 Brian Dye503Leave a Comment on KMK: Christmas at Geckos

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 […]
