You should get some replies. Many schools and foreigners there. It's upscale, pretty convenient living I think. Bit cleaner than a lot of Seoul, but not far.

dcrespin - Please don't take the job at st andrews....please!

Still going over a few details with the recruiter ('a' Mr. Kim).

The last time he sat next to me on the subway, he said to open a bank

account and give him the passbook and PIN number.

No other schools will hire me due to terrible past performance.

This is the only school that seems like a perfect match for a 'looser'.

So, Warning...Stay away from st andrews....it's mine!

Are you already in korea? It's not that bad, korea wise. We have la festa. But it takes an hour to get to downtown seoul.

In Ilsan, the Hogwan Association is very strong, and many teachers have been cheated there. You are taking a big chance by signing a contract with a hogwan in Ilsan. Check with others on this board. Post the name of the school before you sign anything.
