I apologise to all my devoted readers (I wish) for the lack of content on this blog over the last couple of weeks. Things have been so busy with all the legal concerns over leaving and organising the next leg of the journey that the blog has been somewhat neglected. … Read More

A quick update on where I have got to with regards to my contract and the illegal clauses contained within it. Because I have to play it by ear until he actually withholds, or doesn’t, the million won that my contract illegally states I have to pay, things are a … Read More
