I'm in my early 20s, a first-timer, and flying solo. It's not only about the money for me (the challenge, fun, learning a language, living abroad, etc) but the Yeosu position pays a bit more. Both schools are reputable and there are more more foreign teachers at Yeosu. I'm typically metropolitan-inclined, but Yeosu has a reputation for being both very beautiful and having a tight expat community, which is nice to hear. However, Gimhae is close to Busan, and from what I read here, people love Busan.

I have to make a decision in the next day or so. Give me your thoughts. Am I crazy to consider living anywhere but as close to Busan as possible (given that I kind of like places like NYC, Mexico City, etc).

Gimhae.

Gimhae, be near Busan. Yeosu, they may be tight becuase I doubt if theres something to do. Busan, I love it, just got back from there!

Does anyone know when the Gimhae-Busan subway line will be completed?

[Kurtz]

Gimhae--> Gateway to Busan

Yeosu---> Gateway to Suncheon.......

Another pro of Gimhae is that the city has the international airport serving Busan. Many deals to be had.

you could always just wait for something to come up in busan itself. i spent 4 months in gimhae, bored out of my mind on weekdays, just waiting for the weekend to come so i could head to busan.

The subway from Gimhae to Busan will also apparently be finished in April.

Yeah, I'm turning the Gimhae offer down.
