Has anyone had any experience with this recruiter, or know anythin about it? They advertise public school positions in Chungnam province (whic seems to be rural), and I have found much information on this site about them. Can anyone ofer any insight?

They're good...better than most recruiters, and Chungnam offers good conditions of work (generally). PM myself or Dome Vans for more info.

so NatureGirl, you're making the move?? we might be coming also (wife & baby), ....you just can't save anything in Latin America, unless it's an international school.

doing univ 7-11AM, and privates at night in L.America isn't bad, but still hard to pass $800-1000 / mo for 50-60 hr work weeks.

what's your husband going to do?

looks like we'll probably be going to Korea for a year, next March. I've got to finish my MA here, which is done is Feb. I still haven't start my thesis. We figure a year in Korea and we can buy a house here.

I'm making about 1500 here in Peru, working three jobs, seven days a week. On the weekends, I have to do Lesson planning, corrections, quizzes, plans, registers, etc. It's just not worth it.

I don't konw what my husband would do. I'm not sure he could work legally being Peruvian and not having a degree. There's illegal work, or possibly finishing his degree by distance study.

When are you coming?

But if you have an issue with your employer, and ask him to mediate, expect him to tell you that you are unreasonable, and you should accept being paid 17 days late each month...

Is there a demand for Spanish in Korea? I am getting ready to come to Korea and speak Spanish fluently. I wonder what the opportunities are.
