Bearing My Seoul

The truth is always better than fiction!¿¿¿¿¿ Bearing My Seoul, is a collection of sometimes-funny, always-interesting essays written about a Black American girl taking a job in one of Asia's biggest cities sight unseen. Back before any of the boys in BTS had even graduated high school, before "Gangnam Style," mukbangs, or most of the world discovered Korean beauty products, Taryn Blake moved to Seoul, South Korea, to become a full-time teacher. Whether a first trip to the public bath, a disastrous blind date, meeting K-pop superstar Rain, or experiencing Korean church culture, like Seoul, this book offers surprises around every corner.
