Well I finished (I mean survived) my CELTA course in Beijing, and now feel the urgent need to go on a job hunt. I would like to teach adults in a company or a uni but not, if possible, in one of those 6 am AND 6 pm class deals. I would rather bathe in citric acid than teach Korean kids again. I got a diploma, a cert and a caucasian face. Who wants to hire me? PMs welcome.
P.S.: I honestly do not care where I am in Korea, so long as it is south of the border.
P.P.S: I am also on the lookout for the Holy Grail, textbook writing and editing.
Kamsa Hammnida,
G |

| I like it fine except for the pollution, the cold and the dictatorship. I'm split on the food- on the one hand it's yummy, on the other I have had the runs for the last 5 weeks. The Chinese are more open-minded and less reactionary than the Koreans, but who isn't? I would stay here but I need the dough. Money can't buy you happiness but can certainly make a generous downpayment. |

The Canadians. Apparently. I have it on good authority -- from sources right here on Dave's, in fact -- that really, Canadians aren't so unlike the Koreans as you or I might think.
Say, I hear there's money to be made teaching English to Korean kids. Ever considered doing that?
On my way home this evening -- yes, THIS evening, Guangho -- I walked up a different street than usual because there seemed to be a small forest fire or a house fire, and I wanted to get a closer look. Along the way an impossibly tiny Korean girl of 4 or ... dunno, just incredibly dinky... came up and asked me in Korean who I was. Startled that such a small thing could both walk and talk, I answered the little mite's question with a question, in Korean: Who are you? She pointed and said, in Korean, that she lives in that house over there. So I pointed and said I live in a house wayyyyy up that-away. Whereupon, the little imp replied, in Korean, no, I didn't.  Um...yes, I actually do. No, you don't. 
At that point I smiled and continued on my way, noting her address for future reference. (Note to Good Buddies with Dangerous Tools and the Authority to Use Them: Please remove faulty power meter at "my" house. Will replace with new model myself at later date. Grazie.)
As I walked away, she squeaked at me, this time in English: "Are you from Canada?" (Second Note to the Buddies w/the Tools, etc., etc.: Oh, almost forgot. Please also tear up street in front of house as am replacing broken water mains. Same address. Grazie mille, da Guru) |

Knowing someone else has drawn the same conclusion, I feel a whole lot less like the Lone Ranger, Tonto. |

As a Canadian I agree. Whenever I encounter blind Korean patriotism and misplaced national pride puffed up by a wholesale swallowing of internal cultural propaganda, I have to remind myself Canadians do much the same thing, although we tend to phrase it in the form of "we're better than Americans this way as well..." |

| When you say 'diploma' do you mean a bachelor's degree? You'll need that to work legally, no matter what other ESL training you have. |

A Bachelors degree yes.
Guru, if you supply the citric acid, I will consider your proposal. Also, does this mean I should not look towards Prince Edward Island? |

Hey I was just up in Canada. T.O. rocks! Montreal needs to drown in the ocean of its own bile.
I like thread necromancy. |

Canada is nice enough just needs to forge an identity for itself that goes beyond not being the U.S.
And Quebec has to go. |

We Americans will be happy to take Quebec off your hands. Me thinks we can use it for a toxic waste dumping ground or pave it into a large parking lot for the greater New York area.
The locals of Quebec we can certainly put to work. Once weaned off Canadian medical care and other social benifits we can turn them into good cheap migrant labor for the agricultural industry. |

You don't want them either. Those *&^* don't speak English and never like to follow the rules. The last thing you want is the French from Canada in your country. They would be protesting that you respect their language and unknown cultural aspects but really that is translated into "GIVE US MONEY, MONEY, MONEY because we don't want to work for ourselves". We should just send them home(France)..like we should have done long ago.  |
