What are people thinking when they name their institutes? How could I put on my resume after a year in Korea:

2004-2005 Teacher at "Ding Dong Dang".

or

I worked at "The Little School on the Hill"

or

I gained ESL teaching experience at "One English School".

Do you consider the name of the school before accepting a position?

If you think your home country emloyers will not call the schools (and I don't think many would) you could probably just give the school a little euphemism of a name. So, instead of Ding Ding Dang, you could say DDD Language Institute or instead of Little School on the Hill, you could say Junior Academy on the Hill.

Just be thankful that it wasn't Brainy English school, or Let's English.

I like this one. "Let's Break English". Its across the street from where I live.

My parents saw me searching for hotels on the internet when I was planning my first trip to Seoul.

They REALLY wanted me to stay at "A Dong" hotel -- and take pictures!

I seriously recall seeing a 'Naughty Student English Language School' in Daegu. I don't think they had the enrollment to be able to hire a foreigner yet, though.
