I was just wondering if anyone has information on The Gangjin Foreign Language Town in Jeollanamdo.
Any insight on the job, managment, apartment, town etc,..would be very much appreciated!
Thanks!

Wow, no replies, must be a popular place! Baluda did you ever find out anything or end up working there? I know it is in a pretty remote/rural area, but I don't mind that. They just posted today.

Baluda or anyone else considering Gangjin Foreign language Town,
Simply stating was the best choice I made. When I came here last September I was so worried because of all of the horror stories that you read here on Daves as well as other blogs but man did i luck out here. It is pretty remote but Gangjin is a great place to be (at least for me). The people are nice, we have a small but tight foreigner crew. As for the school it was owned by Herald media up until last month and taken over by YBM (from what I hear they are the biggest private school in Korea) all of our contracts from Herald got canceled but YBM went above and beyond with my new contract. I make great cabbage, work with a great staff and most of all enjoy myself.
Warning: If you are looking for a large city where you can party every night this is NOT the place for you. If you are looking to make a great salary, live in a NICE apartment, work for really great people and not get worked to the bone then this is the place for you.
