Anyone work there or know anyone who has? I've been offered a contract and they want me to start asap.
Thanks

Gongju is a very small armpit of a town. It is about 30km from Daejon, but by bus it takes nearly an hour to get there. I was there a long time ago and hated ever minute. Fortunately, it wasn't for very long.

I don't know the school, but typically the students in that area are not as refined as you will find in Seoul. A lot of farmers and labor class kids. They aren't that bad, but a little more unruly than I have found in Seoul.

If you like isolation then you might enjoy it. The countryside in the area is pretty. There just isn't much to do there.

Cheers for the info. I've been trying to get on Facebook to have a look at some of the Gongju groups to see if I can get some more info for the last couple of hours and not being able to log on. Very frustrating.
