Korean blog connection...

Due to the growing demand of English education, there has been a significant rise in native English speakers in South Korea. In turn, the blogger community has expanded and there are now a vast amount of resources of all things to do with South Korea. Bloggers write about anything from politics to restaurant reviews to crazy nights out.

Some topics tend to be quite controversial because of their nature. Many have open forums for discussion and provide useful information for new and returning English teachers. The Korean Bloglist provides a good amount of blogs in English from English speaking expatriates.

Here are some of this blog's editor's favorite blogs. I refer to them regularly for the hot gossip and going ons in the Republic of Korea.

KissMyKimchi -- A cornucopia of topics are addressed in this blog. He is a personal friend to HSK and has a fun design to his blog. Check out the recent Konglish photo contest!

FatManSeoul -- This one deals with food and drink in Korea. A guide to cafes, bakeries, restaurants, teahouses and much more all over the Korean peninsula.

Life in a Suitcase -- This gal writes about anything and everything. (Korea and not Korea related.) She presents many fun things to do in Seoul including hashing, a favorite past-time of many expats in Korea.

Ask a Korean! -- Made by Koreans living in Korea aimed towards anyone that's interested. It's a question and answer type deal and answers many potential questions you may have before coming to Korea.

Scribblings of the Metropolitician -- This guy's got a really interesting point of view on a wide variety of subjects. They range from the fun and exciting to the not so fun and exciting. He is also a gifted photographer and offers photography classes.

The Original Yangpa -- A satirical and humorous blog on current events in Korea. Puts a light and unserious spin on otherwise sometimes dull and serious topics.
