Big City Life

I really wonder what is happening in the city all the time. First off many people flock here because there is just so much more to do here than their is in the countryside like Daejeo. But the irony is, is that Daejeo puts on a festival at least once a year while the main features of the city don't have a special event like a Tomato festival.


I work in the Eastern part of the city. i take a subway to work that travels only 7 stops on 2 lines. The distance is quite small in contrast to the entire city. The place I used to work is 40 minutes away from where I work and live. Its amazing to think about that to me. The hustle and bustle of the city life will never cease to amaze me.


There are a few notes that happened today that I want to write about. First off, I got a small reprimand at work. The teacher I work with does very little to help me. She gives me some school powerpoint for a lesson, makes a few comments to the children like listen and wake up etc etc. and she may give some review either at the end or in the middle of class. This is most of her job responsibilities but she hasn't lived up to them so far. In my opinion 50 minutes is too long to teach children, the Korean teacher should do some more translating and also help do some lesson plans. I teach 5 days a week but when I am in her class she only teaches 3 days-the three days I am not working with her.

I had a discussion about this. my job responsibilities in relationship to my pay. I also talked about the relationship I have with the kids. She also wondered what gossip I had spread to Jessica who in turn mentioned something to her boss. Frankly, I was shocked that I had to get into it with my colleague yet again.


Busan is the home of 4.5 million people. There are 34 stops on line 1, 42 stops on line 2, and 17 on line 3. There are many other places in Busan I haven't even heard of much less been to yet. In my home state there are many interesting places that I hadn't been to. I could honestly spend a lifetime traversing the Flathead river, hiking the peaks in the Majestic Glacier park and if I am bored go down to Yellowstone. There was so much to do there and i wouldn't have to listen to the bullshit that is spewed here.


The truth is, is that the Koreans only care about money, the number of students and try to make quick profits. I am sick of dealing with it. I worked at YALE academy, where I thought my boss was engineering bad business tactics and not helping the teachers but he unfortunately wasn't the worst. YBM as great a company as they are exploited me for all the greed they could get from me. I worked a job that gave YBM 2,000 dollars a month. I had to do all the work (Everything) and I only got 350 dollars as overtime pay....so what thats business right? Well they took me for all the pennies they could squeeze and pushed me away but now the director is gone and a new age is starting at this company and for the time being I am happy to be part of it.

There is 4 YBM Centers in Busan and now I am apart of one again!


This new job sucks. I don't care about the pay its great.... i don't care about the hours its great I care about the treatment and the  attitudes. These people are making me sick the stench of money and hollow interests is reeking. I may be mean, I may be prejudiced but I really fucking hate this country. They are just a bunch of greedy bastards looking to rip people off.

Right now half the people I know are depressed in their life...I think its pathetic that they can't look at life in a new light...

before you get your red pens out and blast me an email or post saying how negative this rage seems to be I want you to think about this.  1. you are not in my shoes. 2. I am trying to get you to think 3. I am not really so prejudiced... i am trying to find the brighter aspects of here... living with my wife, blogging, traveling, subways, food etc.

i hate  politics, i hate whiny people, I don't like the condescending attitude  from old people and I don't like the education system which is fraudulent. its set up to fail and more than that to just go in a spiraling downward cycle that leads to nowhere. Until the real eye-opening begins and the blame is cast aside this country has no hope.


My point is that I am a small person who wields little power in Busan so why am i being shafted for all the stupidity in this country?
