Getting there...

Today we finished the second of three interviews with our recruiter to go to Korea and teach. He informed us of a great couple position at a school in Seocho-Gu, Seoul (which is basically South Central Seoul). So far we are really pleased with what we have heard about the position. We have looked over the specs and so far so good. The salary is fair and the benefits are very nice.  We are awaiting our individual interview with the school itself. It is called Alphabet Street School.  You can check out the school's website at: Alphabet Street and you can check out the location of the school at: Seocho-gu

I have been researching information on the school and I have found some really positive reviews as some really negative. The negative reviews all seem a bit jaded. I think a problem for many people who decide to teach ESL is that do not understand they are integrating themselves into another culture, not the other way around. You cant expect to be treated the same way you would here. The structure of leadership, expectations, and simple manners are all inexplicably different than in the states. My point is this: You get out of most experiences what you put in.

Lets just say we are ready to get started.
