South Korea!!!

Last Friday I accepted a job as an English Teacher at a school in Gunsan, South Korea! I've signed a contract for a year and will leave as soon as my visa is sorted. So probably about 3/4 weeks!!

Just a little background information.

South Korea is in East Asia.


I will be in the South on on the Coast in a place called Gunsan/Kunsan. It is has a big American Air force base in the city!


I found the opportunity through an company called Flying Cows (yes insert your jokes here).

The school I will be working at is a new academy and a branch of Woosuk University. I will be teaching kids aged 7-13 and also teaching a women's class.

The school pays for my flights and also my accommodation - normally a small studio, so its a really good opportunity to get some teaching experience and also experience a new culture.
So, a little nervous about it all, trying to learn some Korean which is reeally difficult!!! I am also in the process of doing a Teaching English as Foriegn Language (TEFL) course, once I have completed it I will be an accredited TEFL, teacher! Then the world is my oyster!!!
