Welcome kari,

Maybe you can come out to the meet and greet that's coming up in Hongdae.

You'll get to meet other suckers^H^H^H^H^H^H brave souls who have taken the plunge into teaching the basta^H^H^H^H^H cute Korean kids!

:)

Honestly though, welcome to Korea, and please DO come out to the meet.

Hope you enjoy your stay here and in the country.. :)

jae.

I got tired of recruiters saying 'you'll live in a nice area with lots of foreigners.' I'm not interested in meeting a lot of foreigners when I get to Korea, otherwise, whats the point of moving 3000+ miles away?

Is that why you strictly limit yourself to the Seoul area? (where the majority of foreigners are)

Seriously, it makes me laugh when these "I didn't travel 3000 miles to hang around with people from my own country" types ultimately end up spending all their time trolling around Itaewon or Hongdae looking for other foreigners.

Lame.

whatever- if you spend all week long with korean people I don't see anything sad or 'trolling' about wanting to meet up with some people who can talk at your speed on the weekend.

Welcome newbie- hope you have fun.

Be warned. Everything that gets posted here is scrutinized by know-it-all smart arses eager for an opportunity to pounce. It's kinda cool in a way. Keeps people on their toes, and produces a higher quality of discussion than other forums where everybody is nice and polite.
