Expat Liviing
The new section, Expat Living, of the Korea Herald that I will be writing (originally mentioned here) for started today. My article won’t be published until next week, but it will definitely be worth watching Expat Living as there is a large group of writers contributing. The quote below is from Zen Kimchi, one of the contributing writers.
A lot of people believe The Korea Herald exists in a bubble and is unaware of the criticism people lay on it. It is highly aware of its reputation, more than you think, and the editors are trying hard to steer the behemoth in a better direction.
One new feature in the paper, starting today is “Expat Living,” a section dedicated to foreigners living in Korea. Many of the writers are people you know and trust, like Expat Jane, EFL Geek, Gypsy Scholar, the Marmot and little ol’ me.
Admittedly, the ink and paper version is better than the online version, an issue that is slated to be fixed in the future. To read the columns, go to KoreaHerald.com, click on “Special” on the left hand column. The columns include the heading “[EXPAT LIVING].”
