I am an English instructor working in Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province. I live in Wabu-eup, a district of Namyangju city, hence the name. Namyangju (南陽州) is one of the many satellite communities which surrounds the capital city of Seoul, so I am never far away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
This blog’s name is taken from the fact that I live in Wabu-eup (와부읍), or Wabu Township in the city of Namyangju.
I teach a number of children, some as young as six years old and others as old as fourteen. I do enjoy teaching them and hope that I learn as much from them as they do from me.
My interests lie in a number of different areas. I am interested primarily in history, music (classical of course!), literature, the fine arts, architecture, and travel to different countries. Additionally, I maintain a passionate interest in foreign languages, Chinese characters, current East Asian affairs, and the doings of family and friends back at home.
I do invite those so inclined to comment on this site. However, much like news coverage in the People’s Republic of China, all comments are moderated.
I love reading your blog, it’s very interesting and informative. I hope you never stop!

Came across your 21 Sep 2008 blog on the Latin Mass In Korea… do they still have it at Myeongdong? Are there other places it is said here in Korea (other than Pius Xers and the like)?

I am interested in finding out where I can go to a Latin Mass in Korea. They had it at Myeongdong for a while, but it hasn’t appeared in the bulletin recently… any tips?
