Fun!
I'm leaving for Vietnam in the morning and was googling around for blogs. I love your descriptions and your easy, fun, down-to-earth style. I can't wait to see the traffic, drink the beer and experience a new culture. Thanks, girl.

Great Job
The writing in this one is so intriguing! I mean, what's happening in 3.4 years? And what a photo, she looks like quite a specimen to work with.

BURMA?
Where is Burma, is is somewhere between Bangaldesh India,China and Thailand, never been to Burma, been to Myanmar. Well thats what my Visa reads. Are we discriminating, I mean some travel to Mumbai, not Bombay, some travel to Beijing, not Peking. Research tells me the name Burma, only represets one group of people in Myanmar and by being devisive and disrespectful to Myanmar, maybe we are encouraging a South East Asian 'Yugoslavia'.

A gifted teacher.
Being myself a foreigner (meaning not english mother-tongue apart from not korean) I always saw the EFL business from the other side and, believe me, the first quality I used to look for in a teacher was sense of humour, not technical perfection. The teaching school you have enroled in will probably improve your skills but the raw material seems to be already excepcionally good. I somehow loved this entry. Ah, by the way, would I chose a language school employing young and attractive blond girls rather than one where teachers look like mummies? ... YES, I would :-)

Hi Melanie
PoC = people of color= non-white person. I got a little sloppy on my abbreviations. And yeah you might have to fight a little bit to get work over here but that K-belief that only white people can speak English has got to go. If you can speak fluent Korean that would be a plus, you do see quite a few ads for Gyopos. Canadians get a 6 months tourist visa free btw ^_^

What's a PoC?
Really entertaining blog entry. I'm a Korean-Chinese-Canadian (my mom's from Seoul) and I definitely want to visit sometime soon! I too think it's atrocious that many Asian countries prefer/only hire Caucasian looking people... For someone who's interested in teaching English, but is partially Asian, this is incredibly frustrating!
