Has anyone heard of a chain called Olympia? If anyone has stories from this chain, do tell.

EDIT: I was wrong, its actually Olympiad Academy. or OLA Plus school?

That's a good thing though... it means you're doing your homework and are more likely to find a place you enjoy Very Happy
(remember though - it all comes down to two things: your contract and your boss... Happiness in Korea is linked to how much you like your contract, and how much your boss likes you...)

There used to be an Olympia hagwon next to Guui station on the green line (near Technomart) but that was 6 years ago last I checked. I don't know anything about it, really.
