Not a lot of people know this but I used to work for a Korean Company. My experience with this company was not so great, so much so that it really tainted my view of Koreans in general.

Who would have thought that my change of heart would be brought about by a blog? I came across a blog called Everything Kimchi which chronicles a students day to day life living and studying in South Korea. It’s so interesting seeing Korea from a point of view of a student who went there not really knowing what the country is all about.

This guy is so courageous, he went to a foreign country by himself to study. How many people would have the guts to do this? Being an exchange student is not easy (based on his posts) yet he perseveres and seems to be doing quite well.

His insights on the cultural and the Korean’s perception on various things are also quite thought provoking. 

If any of my readers is considering becoming an exchange student, this is definitely a must read.

Vicki showed me this really cute mp4 player from cdr-king and now I can’t get it out of my mind.

I should first point out that I don’t have an ipod…I’ve never really seen the need to get one as I have no use for it. I have my laptop at work, my cd player and radio in the car and when I’m at home I just talk to everyone. 

This particular player is sooo affordable though and I am so tempted to get it.  It also has this expandable memory! You can use any common  SD card out there to expand the memory.

I am going to try and control my urge to buy this no matter how affordable cause I know I won’t use it.

I’ve been feeling a bit out of it for the past couple of days. I hate feeling this way…this is not who I am. 

I think I should start making uncomfortable decisions and try to do things that will get me out of this slump…no matter how painful it might be.
