Thats an astonishlingly lame tv news item. "Laid-off teacher, blazing new trails halfway around the world."
But he does come across as a decent enough guy. Best luck Jeremy. |

30 minutes west of Seoul? Could that be the Bucheon branch? I knew a couple teachers there and they hated it there. It's a revolving door from what I heard.
edit: nevermind, it's east of Seoul. Probably the boonies. |

What allowance are they speaking of? Also, it's kind of amusing how they portray it as some travel abroad experience. |

I think they said 30 miles, which could almost put you in Gangwon. |
