got an email from my recruiter
orientation begins on the 24th so you should get there on the 23rd. if you are at the airport, there'll be a shuttle bus from the airport to the trainning place.
if you are already in korea, (i'll be there from the 11th) then you can meet at this school in seoul and they'll pick you up. (not sure which school yet) |

| Question (probably for the more experienced folks, but not limited to them): so we're to arrive at ICN and go to terminal F BUT it appears that my flight will be there at 5am! Are there going to be people waiting for us at 5am or am I supposed to wait for someone? The NOA did not say anything in regards to the specific time that someone was going to pick me up. It just said that there was going to be someone waiting for me at the terminal...no time mentioned or anything. |

I'll also be arriving 5 am. I was told (by my recruiter) to book a flight that would land between 10 AM- 4 pm (as if this is within our control) as that's when the buses to the re-education....err orientation center will be departing. The only affordable flights I could find landed at 5 am and 6 pm. I should've just taken the one that landed at 6 pm like I'm sure dozens of other people will... |

| If it is true that they are taking you to the orientation even if you fly in before the 23rd, I would strongly advise to come no earlier than the 23rd. It used to be beneficial to come a little earlier because you got to move into your apartment and see your school first. I guess that's not the case this year. |

The earliest flight I Could find from LA (And cheap) arrives at 4:55 PM August 23rd. Hope I don't miss the bus! Though my recruiter said she'd be there to meet me.
Hello, fellow teachers. Maybe I'll meet you there. I'll be the white guy. |

That's the flight I'm considering - Korean Airlines? If we're on the same flight, maybe we can figure something out together! |

It'd be like a race everyday. Whoever goes to sleep first wins.
Frankly, I wouldn't mind being placed with 2 roommates who snore. I'd feel less like an asshole  |

I'm seriously considering this one as well. Man oh man.
To the snorers, I wonder if we could switch rooms if I get either of you? |
