When I worked at Wonderland (first job in Korea -- I had NO idea), I was put into an 8-pyeong apartment with another fellow. My "furniture" was a mattress on the floor (since my bedroom was too small to fit the frame), a kitchen table and two chairs that had been picked out of the trash, a mini-fridge, and another trash-rescue "desk." My roomie had a bed with a frame, and another trash-rescue desk. The desk chairs were the kitchen chairs.
I was given a split-shift, 9 am until 10 pm, and my apartment was 20 minutes from the school by subway, or nearly an hour's walk. I worked Saturdays, too, and I had to serve the kindergarteners their snacks during my "lunch" break. Oh, did I mention I had 3 hours of kindy a day as part of my split?
HUFs may not be good, but it still sounds hella better.... |
Was it the Wonderland in Anyang? |

Nope -- mine was the Mokdong Wonderland in Seoul, but many years ago (1996, actually). |

| Wonderland has been in business that long? Wow, that's a lot of pissed off teachers doing midnight runs. How does a school with such a bad reputation keep getting teachers? Do people just walk into these jobs with their eyes closed? |
