10 or 20 minutes depending on my route. I run into my students all the time when walking there or back home. It's kind of nice.

Ten minute walk to the subway, one stop, five minute walk to the university bus stop followed by an hour and ten minute ride to school. Sometimes three hours coming back, though. But then I chose to live in Seoul rather than in Cheonan.

Ryleeys,
Don't the kiddies come and annoy you all the time??

Twenty minutes and a bit. It's along a busy trying-to-be four lane with a lot of fumes trapped in that 'grey canyon'. Then there's a deke into a bakery which, strangely, is the only place I've seen fresh, whole wheat bread. There's a 'bridge' over a 'river' where I stop to admire 'nature'. What it is, really, is a sort of sewage canal I guess, but the banks are green and a few people have claimed little garden plots. Anyway, it's scenic and a view up the creek to cut the concrete, fumes, and 'rush by'. Take a short cut over gravel through a parking lot and past some 'one man buddhist operation' shopfront temple. Across a vacant lot and on one towering, bustling block to work. Lots of bustle and variety. Pretty nice, really.

15-minute walk 3 mornings a week (small streets among houses). Last year was 3 minutes but I changed schools, but I like the bit of exercise. Afternoons is a 7-minute walk the other side of my house to my office in the education building. Means lunch at home every day. No complaint.

The first two months I was here, I had to deal with pounding on my door all hours of the morning and evening... and I always had to race the little buggers and try to get my door closed and locked before they could catch me, or I would have to fend off a see of Korean children trying to see my room. Drove me absolutely crazy... fortunately, the cold weather abated it somewhat. But now that it's getting nice again and the kids all know I have a cat, I may have to consider putting up a gate along the walkway to my place. How do you say "Tresspassers will be shot" in Korean?

4 minute walk. 2 of those minutes are spent waiting at the stop light.

ok i can see my apartment outside of the window of our faculty lounge. It is really nice on those days you feel like popping home for a quick snack or surf on Daves

also i 'm getting a scooter so those days I'm extra late (which has been happening more and more) It should take me all of 1 minute to get to school

1 hour subway from Kangnam. Cant bear to live out in the sticks ever again. Thus it would take at least a day and a half to walk it.
