Hey all I've been doing a ton of research about working in public schools in gangwon-do under the EPIK program

from what i gather EPIK sounds decent in gangwon-do. I don't really mind living in the sticks. In fact I prefer it. But I do want to know if anyone has ever had transportation issues to/from their school. I need to live in a place where I'm in walking distance of grocery stores and other necessities.

and also general suggestions on places with good directors, clean places


Thanks for the help.

Go to Gangneung. You wont regret it in the summer. Lovely beaches and close to things to do there.
