Hi,

I am interested in teaching in Korea for summer camp. I have a friend who is from Korea, but don't know if I am totally crazy going there on my own.

A few questions...How much interaction is there with the other teachers? Are you able to keep busy outside of the school day? What do people do in or near Seoul during their free time?

About my offers...here the three are...(none include airfare, obviously)

I appreciate any help. I just want to make sure I won't be either teaching all day or in my room all night waiting to be back at school (or worst case scenario, back at home ) As a side note, I have traveled abroad and taken classes in Mexico, but always with a friend.

Thanks,
