so I've been told of two schools that need a teacher right away (like this week). I really need to take one because if not I won't have any money for the next month and a half (gotta pay back airfare).

These schools are in Nokbeon and Bundang, respectively. Which should I choose? I'm 22, and still like doing 22 year old stuff, but I'd also like to be somewhere where I can go hiking or for a nice walk. I've been to Nokbeon, never been to Bundang. Nokbeong seemed a little too small townish for me, but I could be wrong. What would you pick?

hmmm, never been to either city before.

I've heard good things about Bundang though.

i live a few minutes away from Nokbeon station.
It is a bit old school. I like it though. It is a 15 minute subway ride
to Jongno/ insadong area. More laid back.
Bundang is nicer is my opinion. It is too far outside of Seoul for me.
Most people think Nokbeon is far away. It's actually a pretty good location.

This is where you want to be. I live just a little farther north (연신내), you will be 30 minutes from downtown, or Itaewon, or Hongdae / ShinChon. In the opposite direction you are 20 minutes from BukHanSan National Park.

Good luck.
