Eng·Kor·Wat

An English Speaker’s Korea Studies and What Not

This homepage is a personal, part-time project of a US-born resident in South Korea.  Quick links to recent activity on the Web are available.

The name, EngKor Wat, is a play on the name of the temple complex in Cambodia. The syllables that make up the name reference groupings of topics of interest for the author:

ENG
English: Education | Philosophy | Technology
KOR
Korean: Language | Food | Culture
WAT
What: Answers | Humor | Research

This website is a project developed in the free time of a computer and coding hobbyist who most recently moved to South Korea in 2018. It could grow into an online magazine, a teaching resource, or maybe a networking event page for locals, expats, travelers and visitors from around the world virtual, or otherwise.
