| Busan is a great place to live but the universities tend to have lousy pay. If you can get a decent paying job in Busan go for it. |

| I lived in Dadaepo which is near Dong-A University in Hadan. The area is nice and is kind of a party area for the Korean students and some foreigners. The mountain behind the facility is very nice to climb. You're right on the subway line as well and only about 15 minutes from Nampodong and 30 minutes from Seomyeon. However it's a pain to get back home after a night of drinking. |

Central Seoul. I refuse to live anywhere else, for this reason and others. |

| Had an interview scheduled there, but they weren't able to offer more pay so turned it down. |

Thank you. I wish more people would do that.
There's some in Busan that won't give a housing allowance and expect you to live in a dorm room. That's a non-starter if you've got a family, or your own place (like many old timers do). |

| The contracts are the same for all teachers at Dong-A (as of March of this year). 2.67 mil plus 300 for housing. Masters Degree required. They have 2 campuses Hadan and Bumin. |

That's not too bad for a first job if you get 4 months off.

| I had 9 hours per week and a full 20 weeks of vacation. You can usually pick up extra hours for more pay if you want. |
