Thanks, OP!  I'm arriving this August and I had the same question.
I tend to dress much like Corporal's avatar at work. Would this be acceptable for teaching in Korea? (My main concern is the boots.) |
I can't see boots being a problem- except for the climate. August is hot and sticky. |

Thanks, Peppermint!
They're more of a fall/winter footwear choice for me, but I didn't want to lug then halfway across the world if I wasn't going to wear them while teaching... limited suitcase space & all.  [/quote] |

Well I'm a girl trapped in a MAN'S BODY!!! And I always wear what feels natural to ME.
Well knowing that I am so cool, I'd go for the cute mini black because you can't go wrong.
But Korea is a bit cold. Baby seal skin! A brief halter and go go boots!
You might think about those.... snuggling up with that perfect other. Those snowy nights that are so... so scrumptious. Belgion lace, can you afford it? No, no, no, no, But affordable imitations at many of our markets here.
Just snuggle up to huggybear.
I think HE can afford it!!! |

LOL
Mysterious, do you still remember the days when sanity occasionally said hello?
Seriously can we get such a t-shirt?

That is nice. Because often in Korea I forget that I am not from Korea, and I am very pleased that these sensitive people are kind enough to remind me that I was not born here. They are so clever. They remind you, in case you forget, that you are from another country, or if you are overwieght, they are also so kind to remind you of that. God knows how many times I have forgot these things. |

At most schools as a waeguk teacher you can pretty much get away with wearing what ever you want.
It comes down to weither you want to look like a professional teacher or not.
Me, I wear dress shoes, slacks, dress shirts, and sometimes a tie. Most of my co-workers wear jeans and faded t-shirts. All the more power to them; nothing wrong with that.
One thing of note, though, is that the kids will will respect you more (and be easier to control) if you dress like a proper teacher. |
Jack that is smart. I did not realize it. Looking like a professional sounds like a good idea. After a bit in Thailand where shirt and tie were required, I wore then still for a month or so in Taiwan.
It is true. One gets more politeness from everybody when one is dressed well. It can even help one's love life sometimes!
Unfortunately I usually dress like a slob.
A change sounds smart. Am I smart? Maybe not.  |

| Agreed. Dress like a teacher in your home country would. Decent slacks, a dress white shirt and a tie do the job. I did lose the tie during those two shower three shirt days of late summer. Also, I would bring along at least three pair of long underwear. YOU WILL NEED THEM! |

| It all depends on the school you are going to be working for. Ask the manager or the head teacher what is appropriate for your school. I have worked at three schools now and the dress code has varied from a dress shirt and tie to whatever I wanted to wear. |
