Recently, I have been talking with a number of foreigners who seem rather well connected with all that goes on here in Korea (especially if it pertains to us). I was just curious as to what some of you have in your bookmarks for practical websites while here in Korea. Obviously, this forum is one of them and need not be listed.

What you value the site for doesn't concern me. Sometimes the new perspective is unexpected but quite nice nonetheless.

I have to admit I am behind the curve here. I only have Papa Johns bookmarked!

In any event, have fun with it.

I have a list of Country specific (under 'C') resource links on my site below, which contain some for Korea - some of these include the inevitable personals listing etc. These were all the main links I could find which seem of practical use for the teacher in Korea. Ddeubels link looks good, too.
