Wow, I like this blog a lot. I’m glad you found me!
This is impressive! I just found your blog today, but I already like your writing a lot. I’m curious – how have your posts gotten so much attention?
Hi Taft! We actually met once in Daegu very early into our time in Korea, but I’ve since moved to Gwangju.
I don’t think my posts get much attention actually, haha, except for my article on perceptions of beauty in South Korea. That seems to be a very poignant issue online at the moment. With regards to my published pieces, in each case I approached the site directly. Swing me an email if you’d like to chat further.
I’ve read your blog in the past, and really enjoy the slices of expat life you post. Happy writing!
Oh no! I’m sorry if I forgot you – I guess I can’t keep up with all of the people I’ve met here. So many new faces.
Anyway, I’d like to hear more. I’ll shoot you an email soon. Keep up the great writing!
