    New Design

    The new design is finally up! The “River Crossings” section should hopefully be updated once a week, with observations from a traveling point of view. Also, I hope to do the “Travel Profiles” at least once a month, based upon how many interesting people I meet. I’ve also put up a map showing how many countries I’ve lived in and visited. I’m hoping to write more guides soon. I plan on traveling to Southeast Asia in August and September, so I hope to have a “Southeast Asia backpacking guide” up after that.

    About

    One BADASS tattoo

    St. Christopher's Revolution is an account of my journeys around the world during my post-university life. Currently I teach English in South Korea to rich Korean children, but I hope to expand in the future to middle-class Korean children.

    During my travels I hope to meet people, learn about their lives, and then spread their personal information all over the Internet. This is my forum for doing so.

    I welcome submissions from other travelers, just email it to me at admin@jasonthepinko.com.

River Crossings

The “threat” of North Korea

I often ask my students and Korean co-teachers what they think about the danger posed by a nuclear-armed North Korea. If they even care, they tell me it’s absolutely nothing to worry about. They’re far more worried about Swine Flu — something which poses pretty much no threat to humanity, and will probably be wiped out by the end of next year if not by the end of this one — than they are about the million-man starving army staring at them from across a political line that the North hardly respects.

Travel Profile

Travel Profile #1

So, I’ve decided to start doing something called “Travel Profiles” in order to more fully elucidate and interpret the theme of humanity for which this site was originally made.  I shall give profiles and analyses of particular persons whom I have met during my journeys.

My first will be one of my students, Kevin.
