Korea is awesome! I absolutely love it here. I'm teaching English as a second language with the public school system going into my second year with the government. My first year (2006/7) was in a private institute but still a great experience. I'm located on an island south of the mainland peninsula called Jeju Island. It's described as the 'Hawaii of Korea'. I live minutes from waterfalls, surfing beaches, swimming holes, scuba diving locations, snorkeling soft coral reefs, and innumerable hiking trails. It's amazing here. Korea has such a fascinating culture and the food is like no where else in the world. I teach at 3 different country schools and am set up in a sweet apartment here on the island. The salary is fantastic and I'm able to save heaps and travel most of Asia in the last 2 years on summer and winter vacation. Mongolia, North Korea, Japan, China, Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Singapore are all short flights away.
