Thousands of young adults pass through South Korea each year, teaching English in private schools that together make up one of the country's largest industries. Korea, long isolated by culture and geography, with a complex language and set of social mores, can be a difficult place to call home. Chris Tharp has begun to make a name for himself as a travel writer, and in this gruff but affectionate memoir, explains why Korea can be both hard to like and hard to leave. He navigates his way through the timeless alleys and neon streets of Korea's cities, painting a picture of a society that is at once ancient and utterly modern he serves in the trenches of the English teaching industry, working his way from the private, for-profit academy to the university he treks through the peninsula's mountain valleys and rides deep into the country's rural soul on the back of his motorcycle he also explores the internal geography of Korea, from nearly being deported over a comedy performance, getting caught in the middle of a street riot, to staring face-to-face with North Korean soldiers along the DMZ. During this six-year journey, Tharp must also deal with the death of his parents, which forces him to ask the question: Is home a place that we're from, or is it something we take with us wherever we go?
