South Korea in mid-April

From April 2010 to April 2011, this blog is going to have a decidedly East Asian bent.

Had a job interview and I have now got a job with the provincial public school system in Jeollanam-do in south-western South Korea.

This is a good job – with a very reputable recruiter, at a public school and not an iffy private school, and I have a higher salary because of my CELTA course (will make up the cost of the course in 8 months!)

Assuming I can get all the documents together in the next couple weeks, I will be leaving for Korea around the 15th of August.

That gives me a month and a half to see friends in Canada, get down tons of writing about Latin America before a completely re-orient myself towards a new region.

I’ve never had a strong interest in Asia, and I have heard mixed things about South Korea. However, this is good thing because it will get me out of my Latin comfort zone… and I’ll be shaken up again.
