Just got a job in Ulsan, I have a few things i'd like to ask the director, but if you guys had the chance again before you went to Korea, would there be anything you asked of the director to do for you/have in place for you before you arrived? That perhaps you wished they had done in retrospect? (Sorry for the vague question, wasn't sure how to word it). I'm thinking:

- Sorting out TV/Internet/Phone for me
- A place to learn Korean. I know the University of Ulsan is close so i'm guessing they will run courses for foreigners
- More images of apartment/school

I'm sure there's more but I can't think of any off the top of my head right now

Any input would be great, thanks!

For sure. Either request emmail address ofprevious teacher (some are lazy or busy or just don't want to bother however) or ask to speak to them on the phone.

If the director won't do this, forget it and find somewhere else.
