These Things Seem Perfectly Normal to Me Now...

"Even when my brother-in-law was dragged off and lynched by his feet to the deck railings, I still thought it was one big jape, some utterly obscure practical joke to be played on unsuspecting foreigners. I was still desperately hoping that I wouldn't have to take part. That was my first mistake..."In November 2011, I moved to South Korea to teach English at the British Council's Seoul office. I had never been to Asia in my life.
What was I thinking?!This book is a thought-provoking, often humorous collection of the incredible things I've seen and experienced in my time in this truly amazing country, including:Suffering through a brutal and painful traditional wedding ritualMaking kimchi in ancient rural villagesPlaying drums on stage with one of Korea's biggest rock bandsTeaching North Korean defectorsCycling across the Korean peninsulaIf you'd like to hear about these adventures, and more, then read on! Ultimately, I hope reading this book will help you in some way to feel closer to the people and culture of the country I now call home.
