I just want to get this over with and I don't want to discourage CWS from helping us after they went through all this trouble. But they shouldn't have organized interviews and things before showing me the details of the job offer, I guess.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08337228403799749600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10350057.post-1118427309319445492005-06-10T13:15:00.000-05:002005-06-10T13:15:00.000-05:00Bang (반) means room.

Who cares if the school has free internet? You probably won't be allowed to use MSN or anything on them or to just surf around for fun. Most of your internet usage will be at PC rooms, unless you have an internet connection and a compie at home.<BR/><BR/>Seven foreign teachers is a good thing, but you should be able to find a place with a good number of foreingers, that lets you wear jeans, that has much better hours than 9-6. Seriously, when are you going to fit privates into that time? How are you going to recover from staying out until 7am? How are you going to live with yourself when you know that people like me are making the same money as you, but they're working 2-8? You can find something better.<BR/><BR/>I'm terribly biased here, but Ulsan does kick ass. There's a few hundred foreign teachers here; a few thousand if you count the Russians. It's super easy to make awesome connections between Ulsan and Busan. It's a smaller city that's 50 km from Busan. Busan is a sweet place to be too. A three hour ferry ride to Japan and close to the best beaches in Korea? How can you go wrong with that?Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04002631350703295455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10350057.post-1118417436395566322005-06-10T10:30:00.000-05:002005-06-10T10:30:00.000-05:00Just a comment about internet...

I'm certainly not familiar with every city in Korea since I've only been to the country once for a week, but I am fairly confident that cheap internet everywhere is the norm. They have these places called "PC Bangs" (I don't know what "bang" means) where you pay something like $.25 for an hour of internet. :) We found them in every city we went to, regardless of whether it was Seoul or some smaller town. Korea is crazy-wired.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on Little America being a viable option. Sounds like you have something very promising.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
