... t get paid on time, are not paid the final bonus and have a boss that runs an english school but cant speak a lick of english so there is no way to communicate your frustrations. <br><br>best scenario - work 5 hours a day, have weekends off, have smart kids that love you, great co-workers, able to travel korea and other asian countries on vacation, are paid on time, have a phat apartment, go out drinking with your new friends, learn taekwondo and ...

This was merely another step in becoming Korean- a journey to a far-off mountain to hike with all of the new workers at Avalon and Reading Town. I was apparently foolish in believing that the "formal events" for work involved getting all dolled up and going to a conference or something, considering all of the formal events involve hiking. I'm certainly not ...

... upon), but that never amounts to anything but disdain from me. If a kid is disruptive in class, I send him or her into the hallways and tell the student, &#8220;put your hands in the air&#8221; so he or she can&#8217;t bang on the door. That being said, a kid in my worst class (eight boys) spoke in Korean and I emphatically called, &#8220;was that Korean?&#8221; The class fell silent and ...

... because there weren't any beds. The thing about motels in South Korea is that they generally serve only one, rather shady, purpose. That purpose is to be a retreat for cheating spouses. The motel was awful, but the bed was shaped like a flower. Our second day in town, our director picked us up again and brought us to our school to meet the other teachers ...

... auch eine ehemalige Burg, die allerdings nicht mehr vom 5 Jahrhundert ist (damals wurde sie angelegt), sondern sie wurde oft erweitert, neu gebaut (urspruenglich Lehmwaelle, dann ab dem 15 Jhdt Stein) und in den letzten 20 Jahren praktisch neu errichtet. Die Koreaner bauen ihre Sehenswuerdigkeiten gerne komplett neu. Da ich noch Zeit hatte, bin ich zu einem buddhistischen Kloster 30km entfernt ...

... the camp media guys, are Johnny-on-the-spot with the cameras and never miss an opportunity to capture that smile. · Enough is enough Tut tut. I totally ignored my duties for an hour or so to do this entry. I needed my TPod fix. 8 days between entries is inexcusable. It won't happen again. I'm off now to monitor 23 teachers leading their students in 2 lines to lunch. It's one of the perks of the job. I even get to eat lunch ...

· Jochiwon, South Korea · GMT +8:00 hours Help We've come to the realisation that we're gonna be even busier over the next few weeks (35 days actually) than we thought, and that's after proclaiming in the last entry that we're not expecting a day off between now and January 31st. I'll be honest folks - that's a realisation that doesn't sit very well with me. Where are we going to find time to visit the on-site gym, the one we ...

· Jochiwon, South Korea · GMT +8:00 hours Headaches Today we continued, and completed, working through the logistics of assigning teachers to camps and classes within them camps. You see, there isn't just one camp happening here, nor is there only one location... nope, that would be way too easy and certainly wouldn't require two of us to work it all out. During the 4 weeks of teaching work (work that begins December 31st) there will be 10 camps in total. 10. We ...

... how Koreans present themselves: if you look like you are good than you must be. Koreans are pretty superficial. People can be hired or fired based purely on looks. It wouldn't be out of the ordinary to hear you aren't attractive enough to be hired or you should have plastic surgery and then we can hire you. Also this phenomenon shows how everyone wants to be like the rest. If your neighbor has a shiny new car than you can't be outdone, so you will do anything ...

... the main features of a country's culture, politics and people, by driving on the roads for 30 minutes. So for example if I were to drive to the Korean version of Meijer's called Emart, this is what I would see. First thing that is noticeable about driving on Korean roads is that a large majority of the cars are new and Korean-made. ************e, except for me, drives pieces of junk older than 5 years old. Plus they are all shiny and well taken care of. This ...
