We have jobs lined up for Feb of 08. I was wondering if anybody out there has kids or transplanted thier kids to teach esl in South Korea. We have been debating day care or nanny. Does anybody think it is a good/bad idea, moving that is?
thanks for your imput. |

If you are two years from now I have the perfect idea for you.
You or your wife stays home and watches the five kids: Your kid, plus four Korean kids who are the same age. $500 per kid. |

I envy your child.
I sure wish I could have had second language experience when I was a child.
Before you board, be sure to instruct your child not to say "bye bye, plane." |
