Hello? You’re still there?

Hello everyone,

As you’ve no doubt noticed I haven’t been round these parts much lately. Since my return to Australia in April I’ve been busy looking for suitable employment, which has yet to found, and as a result have been a bit pre-occupied and largely unwilling to write on my relative lack of adventures as a 33 year old unemployed Australian returnee in the throes of mild reverse culture shock.

I’ve since moved to Brisbane, or Brisvegas, for a breath of fresh air and shot at getting into the workplace, and have enjoyed my three weeks here so far. This blog will gradually shift focus from its Korean roots onto more generic interests, as at this stage I’m content with trying to make a place back in Australia rather than returning to the relative stability of the familiar – teaching English in South Korea.

My girlfriend’s currently back in ROK and seems fairly settled there, or as settled as I am here, so perhaps we will just have to wait and see what develops there. In the meantime, I’ll be back from time to time, if just not to let the blog run completely into the ground.

Give us a shout and let me know how you’re doing out there.

Till next time.

Cheers,

Ben

Hello

Hello everyone,

Sorry I’ve been a tardy and not posted on this blog for quite a while. In the time between this post and my last post I have returned to Australia after seven long years in Korea and seeing as I was no longer in Jeonnam thought it’d be a bit odd to post on Jeonnam Life.

I have set up a new blog, which is in its infancy and will be added to substantially in the upcoming weeks, on my and my girlfriend’s adventures in Australia – at this point we plan on staying in Australia for the rest of this year and see what happens after that. I plan on keeping this blog and adding more edgy, thought-provoking posts every now and then – the other blog is going to be a lighter, travelogue-style blog. I may change the name of this blog from ‘Jeonnam Life’ however, as that title’s no longer very relevant.

Anyways, hope you’re all well. Take care and be sure to check out ‘Ben and Hyun-jeong’s {Excellent} Australian Adventures‘!

Cheers

Hello Rainy Season

elcanguro76 — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 02:49:36 +0000

I haven’t blogged for the last three weeks due to a number of factors including lack of interest and lack of time. Though, with the coming of the rainy season – or 장마 as it’s known here – last Saturday, I’m sure there’ll be plenty of time in the next 2,3,4,5 weeks for some extra blogging!

Change in Theme

elcanguro76 — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 12:46:20 +0000

I decided to change the theme (or appearance) of this blog just for the hell of it. I may change it back or change it to something else in the future. Let you know what you think of this current setting and if it’s not popular I’ll change it.

Some sit at home doing nothing, others see the world

I thought I’d give a shout out to Matthew Lee’s blog entries at travelblog.org. During my visit to Australia, my uncle mentioned that his nephew (on the other side of his family) keeps a blog which is well worth a look at. I’ve only just started reading them but think they’re great and a real inspiration for young people wanting to get out and see the world, to do just that. Matthew, if you ever happen to read this and find yourself in the south end of South Korea, you’re welcome to crash at my place and share a beer or two!
