In response to Newbie Question(s) (Thunder VanBrocklin)

Korea is a tough place to teach. The children are mostly great, but it is your co-workers you should look out for.As well, keep a copy of your contract at all times because they will not honor the conditions you agree to. As well, Korea, and most of the cities are EDITED. They are concrete hells with loud signs everywhere and odd smells. But you get used to it. And everything is open all the time! So it has its good points and its bad points.( Avoid the orange Soju tents)Just be wary of any job and be prepared to work hard- long hours with large classes. I didn't like my experience very much, but I loved my students. I found the adults often overly curious but not really rude. Overall, Koreans are pretty nice but the country is really EDITED.
