Korean Job Discussion Forums

[John Junior]

It's been ten years since I was last in South Korea. I am heading there for a High School teaching contract at the end of February and will be looking for activities to get involved in. I am interested in Volunteering, taking up Tae Kwon Do, language exchange and learning Korean; and meeting fellow Australians or Canadians for coffee or general conversation.

Some pointers about what to do in Yongin is helpful. I know Everland and the traditional Korean Village is located there, but you don't go there every week right? I don't drink alcohol like I used to unless I am dining. I am past the 45 year old stage, so life slows down a lot more.

My invitation for shared activities is open to South Korean and English speaking nationals. Non gender biased and age open. Sorry but I won't go to bars to get drunk, that is not what I am interested in. I can not PM posters because I am new to the forum again. I look forward to meeting you in Yongin.

Yongin is spread over a large area is it hard to give practical advice without know what -dong or at least -gu your going to be living in?

I just felt obliged to post this since your an Australian who will be living in Yongin

Hantaek Botanical Garden in Yongin (near Everland). At 826 square meters it is the biggest Australian greenhouse outside of Australia. Visitors can enjoy native Australian trees and plants all year round.



Maybe you can just hang arround there and others will show up
