Konglish: The Ultimate Survival Guide for Teaching English in South Korea
Matthew Waterhouse was born on October the second, 1972, due to a spirited New Year’s Eve party in Toronto nine months earlier. Raised in a loving environment which included lots of books and animals, he went off to university where he spent most of his time daydreaming in the library and playing with his neighbors’ cat. After a short stint as a circus strongman, his friends got him a job teaching English in South Korea and the rest, as they say, is history.The author now lives in the Rocky Mountains outside of Calgary, where he helps his wife manage a rehabilitation center for criminally inclined black bear cubs. He teaches elementary school and writes whenever the muse makes him. When he’s not in the land of the maple-flavored munchies he can be found on his parents’ wombat farm in eastern Australia, where he manages to consume vast amounts of imported cheese and avoid any form of manual labor.
