So I wanted to start a blog of our adventures in South Korea!!! Wes and I just accepted a position in Yeosu, South Korea on Wednesday. For anyone interested this is where we will be living for the next year!
Here is a link on some information about the city as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeosu
As you can see it is a city on the coast which I am very excited about! This means mild winters! This also means no snow!! I am also extremely excited about that!
Anyways Wes and I are teaching elementary and middle school aged children at a private school (private schools are called hagwans) named You and I English Institute. We will also be teaching adults in the mornings 4 days a week! We are unsure, at this point, of our exact date we will be leaving but we are thinking it will be the 2nd or 3rd week of October.
Tomorrow we will be sending all of our documents to our school in South Korea. After that we will need to make a trip to chicago to visit the Korean consulate. Here we will have an interview to make sure we are not drug addicts and our intentions are good in regards to teaching in Korea! We will also receive our work visas here.
Well for now this is pretty much all of the information I have. I hope I am able to update often since Korea is 13 hours ahead of Ohio, and this may be the primary source of keeping in touch with friends and family.
Well thats all for now.
