Here is a piece written by Massimo Park, whose blog you can find here - Rumi Supertramp. I don’t want to speak for Massimo, but he is an exceptional writer who has guided and motivated the group throughout. Fantastic, but I want to see more Mass!

I have decided to upload some of the writing our group has produced over the last while. Basically, each of us contributes an idea for a prompt, be it visual, written or musical. This particular prompt was one where we wrote about someone with a pathology where they thought they were food. Here is what Lee came up with:

Living a few kilometres from the DMZ adds an interesting twist to any exploration in Munsan. The most appealing aspect is the dichotomy between the long walks in the surrounding hills, used by regular civilians – families, men, woman, children coupled with the remnants of a Korea at war some 50 years ago. Bunkers and concealed pathways exist; trenches and mass storage facilities for what ...

I am packing up my life in Korea. I have exactly 2 months left as of today, and am in preparation for the final move to South Africa from what has been my home for the past 2 years and 3 months, excluding the 4 months I spent in SA in limbo between contracts. I can’t seem to finally seal up these two boxes and actually post them. I just keep taking out what is inside and putting it back in a ...

I found some writing groups here in Seoul about 4 months ago. Two of which appeared at my feet (via Facebook), and a third I helped create (which you can read about here). Here were folks ready to be the guinea pigs who would read my writing and love it; tell me I need to quit my job and only write books because it was just inspiring and amazing and no one has ever written anything as poignant and ...

This year has been a good challenge for me and my writing. I started this blog to actually have other people read my writing in order to overcome my shyness and whatever else was preventing me from doing the work. I overcame that hurdle. People read it, sometimes. Friends and family, but it is a start. I then had other people read my writing in a group, and overcame that hurdle too. I now have a t ...

It’s a fresh Monday after a 5 day vacation, a new month, a season and semester at School. I have new classes, new students and a new curriculum. This change is so welcomed after a period of busyness that somehow felt like I had stopped in time, as if my feet became so heavy I had stopped moving, yet the tide of days kept me moving forward. Although times were fun, filled with challenges like ...

Korea is driving me crazy at the moment and I am losing perspective. Small inane things are gnawing at me; students smiles have turned into vampirious snarls, frequent subway ajumma bumps result in retaliative shoves, Hanguel is corroding my brain and sense of auditory aesthetics. Collectively it is whittling away at the sense of positivity I have built over the past year ...

10 months ago, I could never have foreseen the place I am in now. A year in Public School had left me drained, sad and disillusioned about children and teaching. My plans to teach English around the world had been squashed by a bad experience involving a controlling psycho co-teacher and a mass of unruly children. This year, I teaching at a private school and have learnt more than I anticipated. ...
