Here in Korea pretty continuously since December 1997. I'll be in the 10 year club then.
The only real break (other than extended travel in SE Asia) will be two 8 month stints in Montreal going to graduate school. Even though I had basically "moved back" my heart was still here... I kind of felt like I was just doing "yu hak" in Canada. (Study abroad) |

Came in early 1994. Stayed cause I get good $$, nice apt, extra work at local jun. coll, and fear of changing jobs (due mostly to this board).
Finally getting ready to leave this summer. |

| Wow, some people have been here that long teaching English. I know of one man who been at it for 9 years straight in Korea. I just wonder how long the English teaching industry is going to boom like it is. I hope for at least 5 more years, becuase it's quite a bit more interesting than beating the pavement in our home countries. |
Nine is nothing. I know one guy at my university who has been in Korea since the 1970s. Some of my co-workers have been here for around 10 years. |

It makes me wonder whether I will make the 10 year club. I am planning to do an M.A. in Korea Studies here. So I will be here a while longer. |
