Now why can't I have an acting agent like this!...or you know, at all.

Greetings Bloggers.

Well I'm sitting in the coffee shop in rainy downtown Fredericton, the first part of my last stack of comics sitting beside me (The new shipment just came in when I got there, I asked Derrick to put my regulars aside for me one last time) and enjoying a nice cup of green tea. I know I should really be sorting through my belongings and getting rid of as much as possible, but I've always been a bit of a procrastinator. And I really want to enjoy the things that I find enjoyable or important in this city while I can, and reading comics in Read's is definately one of them.

I'll be honest, I'm not really in a mood to write anything right now. I want to write a bit about how long I plan on going to Korea for, but not right now. And I want to take the time to write about my experiences getting to this point, but that's going to take awhile and I just don't feel like writing it all out, maybe later tonight.

But I would be absolutely remiss if I did not take the time to throw a huge thank you out to my recruiter, Dan Henrickson, and his company: Teach ESL Korea.

This is the deal: If any of you ever think about following me across the world then you must go here: www.teacheslkorea.com

Dan has been helping me through this since the start and I really don't think that I would be here without him. His website is one of the most informative I've read through and he's always ready to help and answer any questions whether they are important or not. He is there for you 24/7 and always with a smile in his voice. Even if you accidentally call him at 5 in the morning...(Sorry Dan!!)

He taught me how to count in Korea after I expressed a frustration at trying to learn the system, and he pulled it off when no other site I found could make it make sense to me.

Any time a job fell through for me, and let's be honest, this happened a lot. Dan was always there with advice, words of comfort and most importantly another job offer. He never pushed me to take a job I didn't want or was uncomfortable with, he even offered to proof read my resume when we found out a company almost turned me down because they thought my british spelling meant I had an accent.

But the icing on the cake came yesterday. I had promised Dan in an earlier email that when I made this Blog I would toss the address over to him. Well I did and received a prompt email later that night. Now as I've said Dan is a really nice guy so I was expecting words of encouragement, "great Job James, Looks good, keep it up" You know the general stuff. Which was there. But on top of it Dan sends me website links and advice on how to try to get pizza with Hamburger and Bacon in Korea! Admittedly with the footnote that neither of these meats are plentiful, but still!

So in honor of Dan I have a mission now. Whereas before I resigned myself to being cut off from my pizza of choice, I now swear that before I leave Korea I will eat a pizza with hamburger, Bacon and extra cheese!

Until next time guys.
