Spapia Hotel Daejeon

once a friend asked me about how to find job in Korea. i started writing, and couldn't stop. through the years i have added to this, but the information is still dated from my experiences in 2005.

there are some really ****** jobs out there and some really great jobs - i don't want to see anyone in a ****** job. ...

Petit arret dans un parc national connu pour le grand Bouddha en bronze, plaque or, de 33m de haut.
Cette destination est tres populaire pour les Coreens apparement, et pour une fois nous n'etions pas seuls au camping. A l'image des habits de randonneurs, ils sont tres equipes avec des tentes et materiel haute-technologie !

I stepped off the bus into a cool, mid-afternoon rain and quickly snapped open my umbrella. The 3 hour bus ride escorted me out of the thriving Seoul metropolis, thru a flatland agricultural expanse and into the mountains of West-Central Korea. Far from any tourist areas, I find myself alone at a rural bus stop, absent of a taxi stand or even ph...

made our way down to daejeon about an hour south of seoul via KTX train. went down there with my dad for a family reunion and the one year memorial of my grandfather... it was actually an interesting time of rediscovering my roots.. the "oh" family line. apparently there are three major lines of "oh's" of which i am the second (and smallest or f...

· Jochiwon, South Korea · GMT +8:00 hours · Days until we finish camp - 25 · Days until we leave Korea - 30 Fine Print There are 168 hours in a week. Somehow it feels there is more than that when you're on the administrative side of the Camp Korea fence. We've typically been spending less than 50 of those aforementioned 168 hours sleeping. The o...

· Jochiwon, South Korea · GMT +8:00 hours · Days until we finish camp - 32 · Days until we leave Korea - 37 The crude countdown timer you see above (yep, that's what those two lines are, okay?) will be an ever present feature capping the rest of the entries we file from Korea. I realise it may not look good that I'm counting down the days we hav...

· 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 ...

· 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 i...

In December of 2005 I was chatting on the phone to an old friend and mentioned that perhaps my next overseas experience would be in Korea, who would have thought that 19 months later I would board a plane and actually head to Korea! I left my family's house in Peterborough at 3:30a.m. the morning of July 13 and a car ride, two plane trips (Toron...

The day has finally come. I finished my contract in Korea, met my family and said goodbye. It was a lot harder to say goodbye to Korea than I ever thought it would be. I complained a lot, but it holds a special place in my heart. To sum up my take on Korea and its people I will use an example of a typical day driving in Korea.

I did not t...
