Terible news
So I was doing my rounds... reading my daily blogs... when I came across this terrible news... Shawn, the author of Korea Life Blog took his own life on May 30. He jumped off the top of his building to his death. It is sad to hear that he felt he had no other option then to end it all. It is horrible that the pain may have ended for him, but that it has only begun for his family and friends. Reading his blog was one of the factors that made me choose to come to this country to work... it is a sad day.
I am sorry Shawn that you were not able to find your way in life.
The whole story can be found here.

Hi Chelsea, I'm Shane from Canada. I came across your blog while looking for info regarding teaching in South Korea. It has been great in helping me figure out if SK if for me or not. Oddly enough, I was a big fan of Shawn's blog and didn't hear the news untill now (read your post) that he had passed away. I exchanged a couple of emails with him last year and he seemed like a great guy. I did get the impression through his blog though that all was not well but never thought that things were so bad for him. He was such a great writer and I though he had a lot going for him. I guess sometimes even good people get kicked around by life sometimes. Anyway, nevermind me, I just wanted to say something to someone about Shawn because that news just floored me. Keep up the good work, I wish I could manage to update my blog as often as you.
