Shimbun Englsih School - Busan - Kuseo-dong (Guseo-Dong), Kumjoung-gu

Anyone have the skinny on this place. I'm about to sign on the dotted line and was searching for anything on this school. The recruiters and the director claim its rather big and that its reputable (like you can trust that) -6 foreign teachers (that I'm trying to get in touch with) - so I though someone may know something. It should be just north of PNU in Busan - whats the location like for this school? I've been to PNU lots but never north of the area - only to visit the temple.

Any info on the immediate area or more importantly the school would be great.

Thanks.

If it's almost next to the PNU KFC, and the owner is curly-haired Mr. Sohn, then its the place I worked for from 1998-1999 and was quite decent as far as hagwans went. And the owner was a great guy, which is something I don't often say about owners. Dropped in on him last year and he seemed to be doing well.

Hmmmm. This must be a different one. As I think the one that I was hired at is 2 stops north of PNU. However they did mention that they changed buildings recently.

Any info on the owners, sheduling, getting paid on time, and apartments?

Thanks for the followup.
