I love talent shows. America's Got Talent just started last week. Korea's Got Talent 2 begins on June 1st! Maybe I'll blog about this year. Those were some of my most popular posts last year! 10 days....I can't watch it live because I'm not in Korea, but I'll be checking the youtube channel. I like to pick out a few good clips and a few bad ones. I hope they have English subtitles this year. I know a lot of people request them on the youtube channel.

An update...one year after leaving
It's been a little over a year since I left my last job in South Korea. April 25, 2012 was the one year mark of when I ran. I am in my hometown in the USA and I'm currently looking for a new job. I'm also trying to keep this blog updated as much as possible. I don't have any first hand accounts to share, but I like to share things that are going on in Korea.
When I left the school I was emailed 3 months later and told that they would pursue legal actions against me since I owed them half of the plane ticket. I didn't respond to that email. Since then I have not heard from the school.
I will not be returning to South Korea to teach in the future. It's too risky for me. Deep down I'd really love to go back, but I'm scared of ending up in a school I don't like. Plus I'm not that great of a teacher.
I do plan on visiting South Korea in 2014. There is a reason for this trip. Universal Studios Korea is set to open that year. I won't be going to the grand opening. I'll be going after its open for a few months.I have 2 years to save up for the very expensive trip.I really hope this trip will be a reality.
Lately I have been thinking about that trip so much. Its 2 years away, but I'm already thinking of places to go. I want to be able to come up with new content, pictures, and videos for my blog. I hope to make enough videos and posts to give this blog a revival for a few months in 2014. I'll probably post an entry a week including a video and the story to why and when I went to that particular place. I can also note how things have changed since I left. When I return I will have been away for 3 years. I have so many ideas. Its going to be an exciting trip and I hope I have at least a week to spend in Korea. I hope to be able to meet up with some old friends that I really miss while I am there.

Universal Studios resort in South Korea to open in 2014
Read about it here: Universal Studios to open in 2014
Highlights:
Universal Studios in South Korea is going to be bigger than all of the other parks combined. I've been to Universal Studios in Los Angeles, CA and Orlando, FL. I enjoyed both of those so I am excited to go to the one in South Korea. My favorite rides are Earthquake, ET and Shrek 4D.
They hope to attract 15 million tourists a year.
It will be located in the city of Hwaseong.
Construction is projected to start next year and open early 2014.
They expect the project to create 40,000 jobs. (I wonder if they would hire foreigners. I should look into that).
