 Posted: Thu Jun 08, 2006 10:59 pm Post subject: MY Korea ID Card was Taken At the Airport!! (No Visa) |
 |
|
I went through the INGRATNATION err you know the customs guy at the Airport in Seoul - I did not YET have a return job set up in KORea ( thus no VISA return type stamp ... I gave the INGRATNATION Worker my KOREA ID CARD and Passport. He would not give me BAck my Korea Id Card !!!! I asked him again he would not... I will not need it in the USA and I guess he might worry I lose it and a bad person gets it (it be sooooo difficult to duplicate)
But still if I do get a 5k Womens Uni Job with 4 mionth of Vavcation I would come back...
So moral is DO NOT SHOW YOUR KOREA ID CARD IF U DONT HAVE A NEW VISA JOB SET UP....
Anyhow I did like Korea and my students and teachers were all in all most kind and sweet Deus save `em in mine stead - but That INGARTNATION worker mad me   
I forgot but I think I paid for that dumb thing too...
Anyhow, I think I wil go to Spain or Latin AMerica to teach at least than I can understand a lot more! But I may have to start watching my back... In Jeju there was not a churl who wouldst left a sickle fore the Lord of the Isle....
OK well I m at the Japan aairpot\rt waitin so no replies I guess and ... anyhow HAPPPY KOREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Oh I mighht add as a brag worthy note that I met a sweet lass at TGI Fridays - then went to a movie with her the same night at the KOEX --- of course she wante d my email !! and she got the cute 20 something punk 
Anyhow ahhh YOu all need to LOVE like me and the job will be as sweet as the Love in your heart for all ur wee little charges (Did I mention I got some Japan Beer here? ) ok

Maybe your road rash showed through the holes in your shorts and you scared the poor chap. |

EPIK Job Now open in Seogwipo Girls' Middle School, Hyodon Elementary, and Sinsan Elementary / Middle School. I ASSUME these are the schools you'd be put into. These are the ones I left and that are now yearning for a new ESL English Master. (Is that redundant?)
A supervisor of EPIK in Jeju said he was sorry to see me leave. He wanted to know if I had any friends I could recommend for this job. He urged me to try to get some good teachers I knew to apply. I said most all the non-Korean teachers I knew were already firmly employed at their schools or already worked for EPIK on Jeju. At any rate, I thought I'd go ahead and give it a post here as maybe you have a contract ending soon. It is a public school job, so expect to get a lot of days with no work for school birthdays, picnics, sports days, finals, and trips. On the other hand it is arguably more serious than an academy since you are a government employee. Therefore, you may be asked to give speaking tests- which is easy but requires you to consistently listen. A furnished apartment with a computer, microwave, TV, ect. is included. I had a bathtub and a big balcony for my countryside apartment. I�d inquire where you would stay as there are at least four places where teacher apartments are located in Jeju. You pay gas and electric as well as cable and internet if you get them.
What else can I say? The work is rewarding if you like children and young teenagers. All the schools I was in had huge TVs or actual movie screens with projectors- so I often used PowerPoint to assist and excite during my lessons. I believe the new pay scale is 1.8, 2.0, or 2.4. I made 3 million a month, more as less, as I did extra overtime classes in the schools. The teachers were polite and helpful. I was always and without fail paid every payday. In the winter and summer you have vacation time to take in Bali, Palawan, or Cambodia like me- or wherever you fancy.
Oh and let us not forget pristine Jeju! It is a beautiful Volcanic Island with sweet hiking, snorkeling, rollerblading, surfing / wind surfing, and biking roads / trails. And you can still go to clubs and numerous restaurants around Jeju City Hall if you want to be surrounded by frolicking university students. And, there's the World Cup Stadium where I watched the 'fighting' Jeju United Team ahhh fight valiantly and lose to an evil mainland team.
Anyway, one of the Jeju EPIK Supervisor: Seong-jung Jeong, said to go ahead and put his email here. Send him an email if you are interested:

Immigration will always take your ARC when you leave if you have no job. It's standard...if you don't offer it, they will ask for it.
I think (but don't know for sure) ther is some kind of trouble / penalty for not having it.
See ya toad. Your drunk posts are easier to read than when you are sober.
Drink more before posting.  |

Here's a question... What happens when you come back with a new job and reapply for a new ARC? Does the new card have the same ID number as the old one? If it doesn't, does this ever cause problems with bank accounts, web sites, phone, etc? |

| Here's an answer: The first set of digits on your ARC are your dates of birth. The second set shows your port of entry and the shorthand for the address of your job. New job, new digits. Of course, if you're on the run from some previous crime, keep looking over your shoulder. |

Yes, and no.
FIrst digits are your birthdate, yes. Not sure where the other numbers are generated from, but I am 99% positive they have no connection to your job/port of entry.
I say this because in 5 years and 4 totally separate places of employment, my ARC number has always remained the same. Same for my boyfriend. |

You're probably right. My ARC changed because I took a sabbatical, so to speak. The first set of numbers didn't change, but the second set did because I had been out-of-country for an extended period. I sit corrected. |
