Future Neighbor

Today, I want to pay my respects to Korean Cafe Culture - and how it plays an integral part in Korean society (from teenage years to the golden years). We then ride our train of thought to random subjects - including the infamous Samsung SSAT test.  What the hell is a rung?  Support the show

Today, we're explaining a shift in priorities for Future Neighbor. Less Youtube, More Podcasting. And potentially, hosting rooms on Clubhouse. We're amazed by the potential that the Clubhouse brings - for direct interaction between you and us!  Clubhouse ID:  @danieltime @katieokay Support the show

Our wedding in Korea is set for June - and we're figuring it out! In Korea, the new tradition to do is setting up a "Seu-Deu-Meh" (스드메).
