The Chronicles of Korea

Jennifer and Heather are crazy, fun-loving, nomadic girls with a desire to travel the world. We are both at a point in our lives where we can easily make a change and try something new. This blog will be a journal of our lives in Asia as English teachers in South Korea.

We're really moving to Korea!
Last week Jennifer and I spent hours on the phone to Korea with recruiters, directors, and occasional assholes. It seemed likeeveryone wanted to convince you to work at their school because they got some sort of commission out of it. They tell you it's the best school in Korea and they lie about the conditions of your contract. Since I'm no fool, I read each one thoroughly only to discover the deceitfulness of these people. One school offered us a great job and assured us we worked Monday through Friday. I noticed in small print on the contract that we had to work 6 days a week for 6 months. After a long and stressful process of finding an honest job...we finally settled with one school and signed the contract. We will be working at a private English language institute in Pusan. They have provided each of us with a studio apartment in the same building (at least that's what they say). The apt is a 15 min. walk from the school and in a great part of town from what we hear. We leave on Oct. 17th. We are both extremely excited for this new chapter to begin in our lives.
