I'm contemplating taking 8-9 days unpaid vacation around Solnal Lunar New Year (if my boss allows). Possibly Feb 16/17 to Feb 26. I work at an afterschool program in Suwon.

I'm wondering if it will be easy to find another foreigner to replace me during that time. I don't know many other foreigners in Korea, so I'm wondering about how to find someone.

You'd have to find people with F visas and they aren't cheap.

It's very hard to find a sub due to the restrictive visa laws.

If you offer a good rate, you'll get a bite.

Just a small piece of advice. if you get paid...say...125,000 a day, you should offer 150,000+ a day.
