What’s portrayed in this comic is a little something a friend of mine likes to call “Restaurant Roulette”. Sometimes it goes well. Other times? Not so much. Having the help of smart phones and Google Translate has helped from time[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Anyone who has any sort of presence on the internet is probably well aware of all of the drama that’s been going on in the states. Needless to say, it’s been having a bit of an impact on my desire[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The situation in the comic actually happened when I went to visit Seoul sometime last year. The only difference was that the last few panels totally didn’t happen, because I’m a coward who’s too scared to yell at people I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
While I know the experience isn’t the same for everyone, one of the biggest factors keeping in South Korea is how affordable healthcare is compared to home. From what I’ve learned, the pricing isn’t that great compared to countries that[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I just realized I made two strips related to language barriers in a row. Oops. Oh well, it’s too late to do anything about it now. I’ve dealt with situations in this week’s strip on multiple occasions in different ways.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Though how long it takes ranges from person to person, it seems as if the issue presented in this comic is one that affects very obvious looking expats at one point or another. As someone who doesn’t look too different[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This week’s comic was drawn live in front of a studio audience! Well, not exactly…but it was still live! Here’s a big thanks to everyone that came to watch me draw! Now you know my random comic secrets! I had[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Hey readers! In case you don’t follow me on Facebook for one reason or another, I was away on vacation for the past couple of weeks. This is why the updates have been rather…lacking. Now that vacation time is over,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Argh, how embarrassing. Not only did I miss last week’s update (here’s a silly, sad comic to make up for it), but this week’s is also late. If it helps, I’ve been suffering all morning with a wicked case of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Ack, this comic’s a week late. How embarrassing If it’s any consolation, I bring you this comic combined with news that Dear Korea will be going back to its old weekly schedule! Yay for regularity! Here’s hoping I don’t run out[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
While most mature people may bid farewell in a more caring manner, my friends and I apparently like to be more juvenile about it. Speaking personally, one of the most difficult aspects of living abroad is relationships. You come into[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Yay! A new comic! It’s on time too! This is something I shouldn’t be celebrating! Anyways, the situation presented in this strip is one that happens a LOT more often than I thought it did (especially in smaller cities). I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Good Monday everyone! I hope you all had an awesome pre-Halloween weekend! Did anyone dress up? A bunch of friends and I went as the Gender Bender Avengers. It should go without saying, but we were awesome. Anyways, the idea[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
While this is something I’ve definitely experienced on more than one occassion (when hanging with an obviously foreign friend), the idea was actually give to me by a good friend of mine who just happened to experience something like this[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Oh no, another late update! I sincerely apologize for that. There were actually a number of reasons for this particular comic being delayed. I actually had to rewrite it a few times, and even had to deal with some resistance[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
There I go, complaining about the weather again. What can I say? I’m not much of an outside person. What’s really interesting is that I never had any sort of allergy problem until I came to Korea. I guess the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Oh jeez, this is really late. I do apologize for that! I hope the not-so-cleverly censored nudity in the second panel of this comic helps make up for it! Anyways, a foreigner’s first visit to the 찜질방 (jjimjilbang) usually seems to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Where did this year go? I have no idea, but I’m definitely going to miss it. I hope it’s the same case for everyone else out there. I just hope 2012 turns out to be as awesome. The world not[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Oh no, I’m a day late! I sincerely apologize for that. I don’t even know if this comic actually applies anymore. What can I say? It’s been a busy few days. For those of you that aren’t familiar with the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
From what I’ve heard from my friends who have children (especially those with babies who are 100% non-Korean), this happens all the time. Oh the horror stories I’ve heard. To be fair, it’s your own faults for having such cute[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Based off of very true events. It’s more funny than it is offensive, really. It’s just a little funny to see how shocked some people look when they realize someone without blonde hair and blue eyes is from the United[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
If this offends anyone, I sincerely apologize. I’m not saying that money is the ONLY reason why anyone is in Korea, but it definitely doesn’t hurt when it comes to making that decision to stay here. I honestly can’t speak[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
