Tomorrow is my last day in Korea! 
I'm soooooooooooooo glad to be leaving.
I wish you all the best of luck and hope you have a better experience than me.

I wonder what is the actual percentage of those who leave Korea after, or before, their one year with a bitter taste in their mouth.
My guess....45%.
Anyway. Enjoy the home thing Wisco. |

I wonder what the percentage for teachers actually completing their contracts is...just from the people I've met, I'm thinking not too good... |

Well, I'm not completing my contract. I made it through 4 1/2 months.
I'm also not going "home". I'm going to Thailand. But it feels like home.
Home is where the heart is, and that sure ain't here. |

Just curious, but are you going to continue to teach in Thailand. Or is it just a vacation thing. Have you taught there before? |

I taught in Thailand for a year. And I lived there for about 2 1/2 years. I'm going back now to have a nice long vacation and marry my sweetheart before I start my job in Japan in April.
Well, actually we're already married. Now that I got some cash we're gonna have a real ceremony. 
My parents are flying out for it, and I haven't seen them in 3 years. So now you can see why I'm so stoked to blow this joint.  |

Don't let the door hit you on the way out...
Just kidding. Take care. Sounds like you're ending a bad stint? |

It could be worse. I 'm just getting real annoyed with everything here, plus my boss was trying to screw me out of some money. |

Me too, I'm leaving in a week.
I had this vivid dream last night to do with what I 'ought' to be doing. And that feeling of 'ought' comes from 'summing up' the past year of being master of mayhem in the haggie and feeling rather 'silly' about it. In the dream I collected my omph and decided next year to put together pieces for a sci fi novel. Then buy a plane (this is a dream, right). I already have a big motorcycle but in the dream I've decided to get a prop plane, something cool like a P51 Mustang. Of course the dream didn't worry about getting published once the sci fi book is written.
Anyway, I woke up and remembered this dream while teaching Let's Go 3 with some ten year olds who asked what I was doing. Writing a memo, I said. They looked suspicious. I don't usually, in fact never, write memos in class. That I almost forgot this dream gives you an indication of the level of commitment I might have re; this plan.
The Korean female teachers are acting cooler, but I think they're jealous. Damn, they've been at the school since it has opened and that's 3 years. Long time.
When I look up I think, unconsciously, I'll be up there in a plane going aaaaccccrooossss the pacific, hoo boy. Then head over to Taco Time for some burritos, etc. Plus there is no big hoopla about Christmas here. So when I get off the plane in Canada on Dec 22 it will be into the height of real, honest to goodness, Christmas frenzy.
Unlike Wisco Kid who will be snorkling coral reef. |

| Might I add that I myself am deeply jealous? |
