Sometimes a person makes a major life decision without much thought or consideration of what they are getting into...
Stephen Harris was carefree and looking for adventure. He was a farm boy in his 20s, freshly armed with a handy university degree in the faculty of arts that would probably allow him to sell fast food or sweep floors. He decided to roll the dice, move to South Korea, and spend nearly two years in Asia. It was a different way of life in a new culture, but he still had plans to embrace his pastimes: beer, women, parties, writing, travel, and rock and roll.
This book is a look inside the mind of a man who just wanted to have the time of his life - all the time. It is sex. It is parties. It is discovery. It is an honest account of a guy in his 20s breaking loose. This memoir is how Harris lived that journey to the fullest - like a rockstar without the musical talent or the band.
