Hope someone can help me out with a possible dilemma

I hope to be going to Korea in Jan/Feb (my first TEFL job) and am a bit concerned how they view divorce out there. I still use my married name but tend to use Miss or Ms, although my passport says Mrs. (I'm 37 by the way)

So is this likely to be queried (and will they also ask why I'm there alone if it looks like I'm married) and if so, how should I respond (honesty, lie and say he's at home or make up another story??)

Thanks for any responses

Divorce has been the flavor of the week here for quite a few weeks.

I'm divorced and working. It hasn't been a problem for me except in the relationship arena.

[On the other hand]

Korea has something like the second or third highest divorce rate in the industrialized world.

If you're worried about it, just don't tell anyone.
