1. What kinds of things should I look for (or look out for) in a winter camp contract?

2. I assume it's better to negotiate a camp contract from inside Korea like it is a permanent contract, is that correct? I can get myself to Seoul if it'll work to my advantage.

3. What kinds of permanent job openings will I be able to apply for in Feburary, after the camp is over?

4. Anything else I should know about winter camps?

I'll be looking for a permanent job in/around Busan but I have no preference as to the camp location.

You will most likely be on a C-4 (=short-term working) visa. I don't know why, but you will be heavily taxed on what you earn at the camp. Something to do with being a non-resident.

When you get a full-time job (and Alien Registration card) you will be able to get all of that tax back. This happened to my friend last summer.

Whoa, I didn't know that. What is the tax rate on a C-4 visa?
