Ryan Swalls

(2009)

Meet my buddy, Ryan. Ryan was one of the first foreigners I met here… and after some stubborn persistence on his part, we finally hung out. And we’ve been good buds pretty much ever since. We sat down and had an informal chat about Korean food, dating, and toilets, over dinner one night at a galbi place overlooking Yonggi lake in Changwon. Ryan lives and teaches in Masan, and has been in Korea on and off for about 3 years.

This interview runs about 35 minutes long:
