Following my decision to return to Korea, it was soon leaked on the internet and before long people were celebrating in the streets. Not only for my return, but also for the return of the internet’s most mind-bogglingly amazing show-that-is-not-a-show sensations, The Unshow.
As a way of getting you as pumped about this prospect as no doubt millions of fans are around the globe, we have prepared a few teasers trailers to be released in the coming weeks before my ultimate return.

Ride to Work

A few days ago, I was heading out the door to go to work when I realized that I haven’t been doing a very good job of documenting my life. I can go outside and take a step in China, free of charge. But that tourist next to me, well the same step cost him a considerable amount more. I should appreciate how lucky I am to be in some strange and interesting land, when others can only dream about being here.
While I’m on the topic, today is a significant day in my life thus far in China. For today I got my working visa! It has been 6 months in the making and cost many a trip to various offices about town but finally it’s in my passport and I’m good until January next year.
Quite amusing given that I have just decided to go back to Korea. I feel like I left my life behind when I left Korea and I’ve been only making do ever since. I need to be back in my second home, with a cold Hite in my hand, knocking down some kimchee. Next month, if all goes to plan, I’ll be doing just that.
Anyway, I was heading out the door, reflecting on how I should document my life, when I decided to grab my camera and film myself riding to work. What better reminder of my life here than to record a trip that I make every day. So I did. I popped it all together, added some music and here it is:
