I have been offered 2 positions: one in Busan, one in Changwon. Busan looks like more fun to me, but it's "hard tellin', not knowin' " as they say where I am from. The Changwon position has a little better pay.

Changwon. Busan is only 30 - 40 minutes away by bus (costs about $2.00). Changwon is smaller and less crowded (only 1/2 million peple there, so it's considered a "small" city...), it's easier to get around, cleaner, more green space, it has a much closer-knit foreigner community, and you can get just about anything you need there anyway. Just make sure you'll be working for a good hagwon...

Cash is King - plus you will spend less in Changwon and can still visit Busan or Daegu on the weekends.

Changwon has everything Busan does except for the beach(which sucks the big one anyway), the nightlife and good western food. I can just rock up to Busan on the weekends as its pretty close and there is a pretty close-knit foreigner commiunity in Changwon but I haven't found this in Busan. I think the reason for this is that there is only 1 foreigner bar in Changwon but many to choose from in Busan. Just fill us in on what hagwon it is and I'll see if I can find out about it.
