living abroad, Dan’s story. Dan Anderson was born in the USA. he’s now living in South Korea. we asked him how did you end up living in Seoul?

well it’s a long story. before I came here. I spent three years working for a small company in Tokyo while I finished doing my master’s in business. to be honest I wasn’t planning on leaving or anything but one day I happened to be in the office and one of the salesmen was looking at job ads online. he knew I was considering going to South Korea someday. you see, my mother’s South Korean and I’ve always been interested in the culture and everything. and anyway, he leaned over and said Dan this seems to be the perfect job for you check this out I looked at the ad and I remember thinking should I bother to apply? but I decided to go for it, even though I didn’t expect to get it. and to make a long story short, I got the job. the company offered to transfer me to Seoul and they agreed to pay for my Korean lessons. I started working here two months later. and the rest is history I mean I miss living in Japan but you can’t have it both ways, I guess. Actually, I can’t imagine living anywhere else now.
