now hello there. i've just joined after a browsing period which i found very helpful in deciding whether to move to korea for a year teaching. I've already posted on the jobs forum and i shall also be using this forum for more lifestyle related issues and questions i may have in the near future. Please forgive my lack of knowledge about forum ettiquette and language as i'm also new to this.( even though i'm a 26 year old graduate).I will post an avatar once i've learnt how to use my computer.  |

Hello, Panchotino!
"Forum ettiquette"? It's simple! There is no such thing!
Here is one way to post an avatar:
1. Decide on a subject for your avatar.
Go to a search engine which searches for images, such as
http://www.google.com
Enter a search word and click.
2. This should give you a pageful of miniature pictures.
Right-click on the picture of your choice.
3. This should give you a drop-down menu.
Click on the last word on that menu.
I don't know what the word is in English, but in Korean, it's �Ӽ� (P),
so I guess the English word starts with a P.
3. This should give you a box containing the URL address of that picture.
Write down that URL address.
There probably is a way to block-copy that address, but I haven't found it.
4. Come to this Website and click on Profile.
5. Enter that URL for your avatar. |

Hello there.
Welcome aboard. Come to Korea. I love it (been here for 4 months so maybe the homesickness will come, although I doubt it)
I always hold the door open for people and let them get on buses before I do.
When I try to do this is Korea it doesnt work...because they dont even wait for you to offer, they just jump ahead.
The first time I tried to let a lady skip the queue (line) in front of me to get on the bus first, the driver got pissed off at me.
Anywho....come to Korea |

I avert my eyes and never answer anyone who says hello.  |
