I'm getting two weeks to go on vacation, but I'm told that I have to be in quarantine for 7 days...

Basically I can go outside of Korea for 50% of my vacation and then I have to spend the other 50% of my vacation in the country.

Anyone else having to do "quarantine"?

I don't have to, but my hagwon friends do. It sounds like a crapshoot now whether you'll have to do it or not.

Show your boss the link below. Show him that you have a higher risk of catching swine flu staying in Korea than you do going nearly anywhere else in the world.

our school has already been hit by swineflu this year, so quarantining seems a little... pointless? Nevertheless i have to do it, and nevertheless im getting paid and given an extra week out of my deskwarming time in order to do it Smile not complaining.

heard of a big univ making their teachers come back a week early for "quarantine" purposes if they go abroad over winter break but the korean staff doesnt.

so typical of the logic here
