Here's this year’s Christmas video card! Our Christmas was filled with snow, a goofy Santa, presents and tons of cute Korean kids! Enjoy, and have yourself a Merry Christmas.

Awkward Korean 04: I Wanna Be Blanka /
Sooo…in my 6th grade class the students have this small writing assignment where they have to fill in the blanks of a written letter with the key expressions they learned for the day. I was bored, so I decided to take a crack at it myself. This is what I came up with.
This Is My Day /
This is my day as a geeky ESL teacher in Korea, complete with Edgar Wright/Sam Raimi style editing.
Music: "Goody Two Shoes" - Adam Ant
Seoul 201 /
Here’s a little video I made of our first trip to Seoul. It took me a while to get to this footage, but I’m glad I put it together. We only stayed there for a few days, but we had lots of fun! We did a lot, but definitely didn’t get see everything. Looking forward to going back and checking out what we missed.
Vlog04: Mugged /
Getting mugged is no laughing matter…except in my case. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel on YouTube.
Vlog03: Wrath of the Frost Giants /
I apologize in advance for the sensitive subject matter discussed in this video, however I believe awareness needs to be raised. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel on YouTube.
James and Ari /
This video is dedicated to our good friends, James and Ari. We only knew them for a short time, but in the “pressure cooker” of being an ESL teacher in Korea, it was more than enough time for us to realize and appreciate what wonderful people they are. James and Ari, we miss you and will definitely make it out to the UK to see you soon.
It’s Christmas Time! /
Hey, guys! It’s Christmas time! We couldn’t send out cards, so we did one better…we brought Christmas from Korea to you. Happy Christmas!

Chuseok 2011 /
In light of Noelle and I not having an American Thanksgiving due to sickness, I present to you a Chuseok video. Chuseok is Korea’s Thanksgiving equivalent. There wasn’t any turkey and pie, but there was definitely delicious meats and heotteok (a fried Korean pancake filled with nuts, cinnamon and sugar). Yum! There’s also heaps of Busan attractions, so we hope you enjoy our lovely city!
The Magic English Bus /
People always ask me what I do in Korea, and I say, “I work on The Magic English Bus.” At this point a look of confusion usually sweeps across their faces. Well, this video should put all the confusion and questions to rest.
EPIK Orientation Fall 2011 /
This is a culmination of all the fun times we had frolicking around Jeonju, South Korea with our new friends. It’s hard to believe that we could sit through 8-9 hours of classes and still find time to hang out with friends, hike up mountains and explore temples. It was an intense week, but it was all worth it. Don't forget to subscribe to my wife and I’s travel channel on YouTube.
Incheon - Day 1 /
We're finally in Korea! I'll be documenting our first few days here as well as orientation. So here is Day 1 of our 3 day stay in Incheon, South Korea before orientation. Hope you enjoy watching us get lost and experiencing a new culture, and don't forget to subscribe our travel channel on YouTube.
Goodbye To Calvary Chapel /
Since I’m moving to Korea to teach English, I had to resign from my position at Calvary Chapel last week. This was my first week of being officially unemployed, yet I couldn’t keep myself out of the editing chair. So here is a completely self-indulgent goodbye video to the best job and crew in the world! Although teaching in Korea will be rewarding in its own way, I hope and pray that God blesses me with another opportunity like this one in the future.
