Anyone in Geochang? I am a newbie at all this and I expect to arrive early November. Has anyone heard anything about HyeSeong girl's middle school?

Is that the Geochang that's 1.5 hours west of Daegu? Shocked

I don't live there, but my wife's relatives are from that neck of the woods... man oh man, I hope you like quiet times.

Hi,


I know the school you are talking about and know the previous English teacher that taught at that school and also the Korean English teachers.

pm me and I will answer any questions you have!

I don't have enough "credits" to my username to pm. Nevertheless, I should arrive in Geochang in about a week. I look forward to meeting other foreigners and am interested if other foreign teachers had a good experience at the middle school. I anticipate having a good and challenging experience.

Thank you to those who have replied to my post! I really appreciate it! Hopefully I will be in touch soon!

Hey, a question. How easy was it to set up your apartment?- utilities, buying things, etc. Did anyone help you? Or were you left to fend for yourself?

For those who are in the public school, was it easy to slide into the classroom? Since I am beginning during the school term I don't think I will go through any training before I begin.

Were any of you expected to have your own curriculum?

Thanks in advance for any replies!
