Nice.

I may just have to cut and paste this to re-post myself in 7.5 months time with a slight edit on the time frame.

You hit the nail on the head. Good luck wherever you're headed dude.

If money is the issue for most of you that question about 'there be better....', than that is a toughie.

But, money no issue? A lot better out there.
Have a little confidence in yourself.

If you like teaching, this is not terrible. If you're doing it for a few to save up some money or have fun and little responsibility, same.

Yes, I would leave tomorrow morning if money wasn't an issue. Korea isn't for me, it's for the Koreans and I'm too excluded and feeling taboo. Korea isn't my home and I don't belong here for such long length of time. I would recommend people go spend a week or two if doing Korean/Asian studies. I'm approaching 6 months and ready to jet so badly.

Oh I can't wait to say, "Um outta here!"

Most people seem to feel that way around the six month mark. I did as well and I am going on my third year now. It will get better, trust me.

Promise?

Actually, it's really not bad. I just don't have the type of lifestyle that fits with this country. I mean, I could spend another year here. Who knows???
Nah, I'll probably bail after my contract is up. But, life is what you make it. I'm going to enjoy my time here.
