THE WEDDINGWell, like I said before, Paul, Kyung Hee and I went to Ulsan on the weekend to go to Dan's Wedding. He married a woman that I remember he was initially friends with and I think even worked with when he first got to Korea. Here is the story on how we met.
In February 2000, I contacted a guy named Peter Corey and he was going to set me up with a job in Ulsan. Peter and his partner Dan were helping schools in Ulsan find teachers. Originally, I was going to go to the school where Dan worked, at Mugeodong JEL Institute. Well, I guess Dan realized that the school was not as good as Lion E School, and also Paul wanted to go as well and Lion E School wanted 2 teachers! It's all kind of a blur to me! At the time, I was just so excited to be able to find a job in South Korea and to be able to go my my best friend as well! When it finally was set up and we arrived in Korea, we met Dan and Peter and what a surreal night that was!! That's why I think going back on the weekend brought a few memories back of when I first arrived in Ulsan back in April 2000!!
Since then, I have done some work with Dan at Hyundai Motor Company. We used to drive there together for an evening class and listened to some 'St. Germain' on the way there and talk about stuff....we have also both been ripped off by a certain rip off artist from a school we both worked at before!
Anyways, I will always be thankful to these two guys for setting me up at a good first school and giving me a great first impression of Korea!
Thanks Dan and Peter!

I don't believe that is Tiger's yacht.... haha. The tower gives it away. I do agree with Peter and Dan giving us our first go in Korea, though. Never really got to know Peter that well, he was always away somewhere either in Canada or other places. Still, kudos to both of them for giving us a great start to the new millennium.
