It's not strictly a school. It's a theme park. You do get to teach the customers. It's a lot more entertainment orientated teaching. Kids are happy to be there (not like the school), that's a bonus. As for working conditions it on par with hagwon.

andrew...where is that cynicism when its needed? Wink

From what I hear, they are like being a carnie in an overwrought, stationary circus where you can't understand anything happening around you.

Demophobe:

I don't know. I must've over-dosed on something. I think it may be sentimentality. That was the first job I was considering in my job search. They did everything alright as far as answering all the questions I asked. Answers to all the questions I didn't ask came out on later researches. So, I can't really force myself to be venomous.

I've been there 6 times with my school. About 160 Foreigners live together in a big dormitory nearby. Working conditions seemed fine, but I'd prefer to live alone. It's also fairly remote. Heyri Art village was across the road.
