Mike was an Asian old hat courtesy of Uncle Sam and the draft that sent him to Vietnam in the late 60s. After his tour of duty in Nam, he bounced around Asia for awhile, went back to the States got a college degree and bounced right back to Asia teaching English in Taiwan, Thailand, and eventually Korea.

It’s Friday night in Daejeon, South Korea and I am waiting for Esther and Bonnie, two language learners to come to class.
