Apartment Questions
Hi, I've been looking on youtube for apartments so I know what to expect if I move. Some are absolutely awful. How do you manage to get a nice one like you have. Should I ask for particular things in order to secure a decent apartment. Oh and I really want to have a regular shower and I know that most Koreans don't have a tub or a shower curtain though I have heard some apartments do. Did you have any problem in that regard. I was wondering if you can give me advice. Thanks. Bridgette

Losing hope
Hi Nora, I reviewed the comments before asking are you still there? :) My husband and I are very interested in teaching in Korea and have emailed countless individuals to get a start on everything.(Even Yahoo answers) Still no consistent information. If you have any references you are able to share, it will be greatly appreciated. I am a Army Veteran and am currently working towards my Bachelor degree in Physics, so I am not sure if I am really eligible. If you have the time please email me at mss_simpson@yahoo.com.

Great but hard to believe
Nice writing, Do people usually get paid 30-40$ for private lessons! This seems too good to true for the average wage

Middle Aged Western Women and Young Vulnerable Men
I was very surprised to encounter a few western women that were having relationships with young Burmese men. One women was middle aged and carrying on with a 17 year old Karen man.

HELP w/ documents
Hello, My name is Saomi. My friend, Candace, and I are graduating this May 2011 with English Bachelor degrees. We wish to teach in Korea. However we are unable to find reliable information for how to prepare the documents necessary to apply. For example should we contact a company first and through that particular company request our information from the U.S Embassy. There is very much information on what documents are required but not how or where to apply for those documents. Please if you have any information, please write back. We are both native English speakers born in the United States.

love your blog
Jenni, Someone who obviously sweet enough like you can only able to write a such detailed information for making a living in Seoul. Thank you for sharing. I am a Chinese/American and was advised that I would be hard to launch a teaching position due to my appearance and my degree (associate degree, major in Hospitality Management). Do you have any word of wisdom on that? I have to move to Seoul in order to get married with my boyfriend in July. Even though I've been working at Luxury Hotel Chain in Hawaii as a Asst Front Office Manager for a long while, I am thinking about to be a teacher in a kindgergarten as a language teacher because I couldn't speak korean at all. I understand that you are busy. However, look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for your time! Yvon

Great Information
I've been in Japan for one year and it has been great. I bought a ticket to Korea when I returned to Japan because I needed to show proof of an onward ticket. I ended up getting a visa, so I don't need to leave, but think I will use the ticket anyway. Any advice on where to go for visiting Korea for one week? It sounds like I need to go. I hear Korea is completely different from Japan. Great article, by the way. Brian Travel English – www.gotravelenglish.com

Quick question
Hi, Thanks for writing this blog! It has been so helpful as I just started looking for jobs in South Korea. I'm not sure of you said this but did you work for a hagwon or a public school? And how bug was your class. Is there anyway I could getthe name of your school. I'm really nervous about choosing the right one!! Also your apartment looks great compared to some that I've seen. Would you say yours was nicer then most? Thanks again, Katie

What An Adventure
Last July 2010, my wife and I watched our 27 year old son leave for S. Korea to teach English in Gwangyang. While we Skype frequently, we miss Trey Woska. It sounds like you have enjoyed yopur time there which is very affirming. If you ever find yourself in Gwangyang and have the time or the desire feel free to look up Anthony Gerard Woska III, known as Trey.

Nice blog! Terrible Mexican men, though they would likely be full of charm and helpful attendance if you go there now as a mother with 2 little kids. :)

racism?
I'm considering teaching in Korea next year but I'm hoping to find a short term conctract. I've seen mentions of camps does anyone have any experience with them? Also after searching around I'm worried about becoming a pariah or something. I'm african-american female, college degree and tefl certified. I'm qualified but worried my race will have a negative impact. has anyone experience or seen racism? How bad is it really? i listen to a lot of Korean hiip-hop and R&B and have seen collaborations with black american artist. So i never really considered it to be a big problem but of course they are celebrities. So in the real world would being black hurt me socially?
