Hey all,

I am coming up on the end of my year here in Korea in August. I have told my high school that i will not be coming back for another year. I plan on travelling for at least four or five months and was wondering if i can ask for the cash equivalent of a one way ticket home.

If i cannot get the cash equivalent is it possible to sell a one way ticket back at Incheon after it is purchased by my school?

Thing is when i told my coteacher that i was going travelling he himself did not now for sure whether or not this is possible. His english is extremly poor so i was wondering if any of you could clear this up.

Thanks a million

The school could price a ticket and give you that amount. They do not like doing this though.
You may get some resistence.

Offer to buy the ticket yourself and get reimbursed from the school. Just get cancellation insurance on it. You buy the ticket....they photocopy it and have a reciept...you cancel it and cash it in and buy the ticket you want to where you want to go!

Thats what I did.
