About this blog

One year, a job, four countries, sex, drugs and Korean pop music. [Nov 2009: Hi guys, it's Dave. I've noticed that this travelogue gets more visitors than any of my others including my recent India blog. Wow! It's amazing that you're reading it, but who are you? I'm very curious to know who is reading this blog and would love it if you guys left some comments so I know who you are and what you think. Thanks again for reading!]
