We spent a short 5 days in Seoul exploring the sights at our own leisurely pace. Having been on a regular diet of Korean dramas for the last few years, Seoul was at once vaguely familiar and yet, foreign to us. It was a rejuvenating trip for my weary soul.

A lot has changed since I last visited the Korean Folk Village, known to native Koreans as Minsokchon. Twenty years ago, I remember a quaint town of yesteryear. Today, it resembled a miniature Disneyworld. American culture has pervaded the world, even in a folk town meant to be authentic.

Teaching English in South Korea is like flipping a coin: you've got a 50/50 chance of getting it right. Life is grand for 50% of English teachers, but for the rest of us, life can be downright ugly.
