In preparation for my trip to South Korea next month (work related), I decided to do a little reading on my destination. At first I was looking at official travel guides, but this first hand account seemed like it might be a interesting read as well. I’ve only spent about 20 minutes reading it so far, but I’m already intrigued. Especially since the story is told from the point of view of a american male entering the country for the first time.
Taking the kids to and from school is when I get some of the best gems while talking to Andrew. He’s very focused and is willing to talk your ear off about just about anything.
One thing I’ve been teasing him about, because it makes him SO upset even though it’s nothing, is calling a CVS store Walgreens, and vice versa. This is a short clip of us coming home from School the other day.
Sometimes something will cross your path several times before it catches your attention. Such was this book. In three different ways over the course of a week this title showed up in a conversation, a podcast (that had nothing to do with the book) and another book I was reading. I’ve only just started reading it, but it already has my interest peaked.
There is another book by a different author with almost exactly the same title, so make sure if you choose to read it, you get the one by Daniel Goleman.
