Sorry to keep inquiring about different places guys. But ive been offered a job in an English village school in Bupyeon and cant seem to find any info of the place on the net. Can anyone help. Also is it in West Seoul or nearer Incheon?

Thanks to anyone who can help

Bupyeong (or Bupyong, or Spew-pong) is in Incheon, on the border of Bucheon, which is the smallish satellite city between Incheon and Seoul. Bupyeong subway station is about thirty minutes on the fast train from downtown Seoul.

The cities here don't necessarily distinguish themselves clearly; one kind of blurs into the other. But yeah, essentially, you could consider Bucheon (and that part of Incheon) to be very, very west Seoul.

I like Bupyeong. I have lots of friends there. Some of my aquaintances worked at an English Village around there, and while it was not necessarily horrible for them, it didn't sound that good, either...I'd be sure to get some emails from the teachers you're thinking about replacing before taking any 'Village' job, as from what I hear, they're pretty fly-by-night and sketchy, a lot of the time. They often seem to have trouble keeping staff.

Quite likely you could do better.
