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.

The school is paying for a plane ticket, room and board, he will have an allowance and a pay check. In exchange, Jeremy will teach English to Korean students.


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.
