Found out today that I got my place in Seoul through EPIK, so now all i have to do is get my visa,tickets,pack and leave.

In the meantime I want to do a lot of reading to prepare me a little more for the teaching there,the culture, confuscianism, the social scene etc.

So if anyone has any good online guides, blogs, websites that they can recommend it'd be appreciated.
I'm leaving in 13 days so books are not what I'm looking for. Plus I already have a reasonable idea of what to expect so I'm not looking for a basic guide. Something interesting and fun that gives you more of an insiders view.

Thanks in advance!

Do not bother reading anything, especially blogs.
