Stumbled Upon: Semi-Permanent

in ,

I stumbled upon an interesting short web series on Vimeo today about expats living in South Korea. If you want to know a little bit more about the Korean culture, these videos give an interesting insight on different aspects of life in South Korea through foreigners’ perspective.

Meet Tiffany Needham and Erik Moynihan – entrepreneurs and your guides to the expat life in Seoul. In this premiere episode, they remember what brought them here and the opportunities and connections that made them stay and start up Magpie Brewing Co. We meet Hassan, another Seoul veteran and their business partner. He came for a two-week vacation seven years ago and liked it so much he never left. On the other hand, Tori is seeing the city with fresh eyes. She and her boyfriend arrived from Canada just six weeks earlier, moving for his job at an international school, and leaving her job as a radio producer behind. Tiffany and Erik explore the Filipino market in Hyehwa with Tori, then head to Suyu for a BBQ lamb leg dinner with Hassan. The day ends over makgeolli in Insa-dong, where the trio of veterans help Tori decide if she can make a long-term commitment to Seoul. We'll be posting episodes weekly, so to find out when the next ep is up, like our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/semipermanenttv
