English Villages tend to be about edutainment. Expect to feel very much like you're on public display.

Hagwons really vary, from absolutely farcical to far too serious.

Crap location and the lowliest of low ESL jobs to be had in all of Asia. The actual name of the place matters now. Run away!

Mokpo is like 6 hours from Seoul by ktx or something. I might visit there some weekend, but I'd never want to live there.

Six hours? Rolling Eyes

It is a three hour train ride on the KTX. Mokpo isn't a bad place to live either. OP if you could send me a PM, I can put you in touch with people who work/ed for MPEV.
