36th Birthday was a super event in SK!
Had a festive 36th birthday this year thanks to many of my ESL students and friends in South Korea. I've been marooned on this peninsula since November 2006, 26 months and rising, celebrating several birthdays, completing numerous work contracts, beginning to raise a family (with Matthew/Min Jae now 10 months old), and of course taking the chance to meet new friends and face new global challenges in 2009. We can never predict the world economy (accurately enough to protect our investments), so I choose to invest in people, students and friends and family. It seems like a safe investment and how rewarding is that!? I've enjoyed reconnecting with friends/family on Facebook.com ~ So, I will give Kudos to them here. I've completed my work at AU in Anyang City, South Korea. The next year will be spent locally in Ansan, working and preparing for ONE, Cycle, One Man, One Bike, One charity, Ride from the Arctic 2010 to support my work with Kiva. Time is passing us by isn't it? Time to catch up with time and make every moment count in large amounts (donations/pledge drive) will likely start up in early 2010. Hope the winter passes with safe passage back in Canada/US considering the record lows and snowfall this winter, missed all of it, and I miss you my friends!!! Signing off, Warmest Wishes & enjoy life!

About the Korean-World Author
Brian has completed his second mountain bike journey, MongoliaX expedition - Crossing Mongolia 2012, an unsupported mountain bike MTB expedition across 2500km of Outer Mongolia from Ulanbaatar to Altai Taven-Bogd National Park bordering China, Russia and Mongolia.
In 2013, as a sequel to a trilogy of cycle tours, Brian enjoyed a more leisure bicycle tour onboard his Koga-Miyata World Traveller seeing the northern tier of the United States and western Canada covering 3400 kilometers / 2000 miles in 30 days. This North American cycle tour was called Totherocktour. Enjoying the adventure of bicycle travel and every great conversation started while traveling on the road - has refueled his inspirations to cycle around the Earth. In 2013, while he cycled solo from the Great Lake State of Michigan, United States to Banff National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. He weaved through local communities and reconnected with friends, family and community after spending almost a decade in Asia.
Brian is now supporting several non-profit foundations through expeditions: IDEAS Foundation of Canada IDEAS is the acronym for Intestinal Disease Education and Awareness Society which supports the IBD community, those suffering from IBD-inflammatory bowel disease, also known as Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis.
