With each story, Marshall shares a valuable lesson he learned from going to many unique places in Korea.Marshall was a student at Murray State University when he first began learning about South Korea and its culture. Somehow this small university town attracted a lot of international students; particularly from South Korea. There was a strong Korean community in Murray. A Korean church, "Japanese" restaurant with Korean staples, Korean organization at the Uni, too. He made friends with most of the international population and particularly with Koreans, attended Korean church, tried kimchi (which smelled like fart to him at the time but now he loves it), played soccer, and invited many to his home.But, he never imagined that the path of his life would bring him to Korea! Here's why. Marshall was more fascinated with Japan and the Japanese language. Having studied Japanese, he fully intended to move to Japan after graduating. Marshall's entire life changed once a special Korean girl came into his life. He tried to sit by her at church, the library, the cafeteria, and looked for her all the time! They eventually started dating and she is the biggest reason why Marshall moved here in 2013. Without her help and support, Korea would have been more difficult.Marshall loves Korea dearly. Living here is wonderful and he hopes that you, the reader, can live through his shoes and learn to find joy in this fascinating country. He's had many times that he was angry, sad, joyful, happy, frustrated, and every other mix of emotions here. Through it all, he has learned many lessons and has come to be able to really enjoy life in Korea. Hopefully you will enjoy his stories and laugh, too.
