I'm Canadian, and lived in Korea for 3 years as an English teacher (no points for guessing that!). Korea full time? I thought about it, but found I needed to be among familiar things again, after awhile. Koreans are wonderfully wacky people, with utterly delicious food, and I would guess now they're more used to having foreigners learn their language -- 'cause when I was trying to learn it, everyone wanted to speak English to me. <BR/><BR/>I'll take a buzz by your site, check it out.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06633401326479781405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14141220.post-1169315068146273352007-01-20T09:44:00.000-08:002007-01-20T09:44:00.000-08:00Lori-I'm fascinated.

I also have wanted to learn "Go" ever since I ready about it in Trevanian's <A HREF="http://www.trevanian.com/books/shibumi.htm" REL="nofollow">Shibumi</A>. It just seems like such an interesting challenge. Now that I've come across this link of you posted to "GO-RED", I'll definitely check it out. Thank you!<BR/><BR/>I'm also very interested to learn about why you moved to Korea, and why 3 years later you moved to Canada. Do you speak/read/write Korean? Did you enjoy your time in Korea? When you moved there, was your intention to stay only for a few years? Do you ever regret moving back to Canada? <BR/><BR/>I've been living in Shanghai for a bit over a year now. When I moved out here, I did it with the intention of staying indefinitely. I do have clients in the USA and do have to travel there a few times for business, but I do feel like Shanghai is home... I suppose we'll see :-)<BR/><BR/>---<BR/>Ryan Erwin<BR/>Shanghai, PRCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14141220.post-1169313586373138952007-01-20T09:19:00.000-08:002007-01-20T09:19:00.000-08:00"worked at a big game store"...
