Maybe I'll come to Daegu too! It would be good to see it :) I'll wait till you're settled in first though, so you can show me around properly. I hope you get a nice school. I've heard orientation is great fun, and you get to meet loads of nice people, so I hope you have a blast! I guess it's a little early to start packing just yet. I am very much a last minute packer. Throw it all in the bag at the last second, and anything I forget I can probably either live without or buy over there (however, when I went to Thailand recently I forgot my camera, which was a little annoying!).

Ohh! The 18th! Not long!! Did you get your redundancy? Never been to Daegu, but I hear it's a nice city. I imagine it's a lot like Daejeon. I'm sure you'll have a great time, and if you have any questions, please ask :) Are you teaching middle school? How is the packing going?

Hey! Any news from you? Are you still employed? How is all the EPIK stuff going? Do you know where you're going yet?

Ohh! That's a nice amount of money :) I hope you get it! I actually mind moving about in the heat a lot less now that I have a bike. I really recommend cycling in Korea. You cycle on the pavements, which can be a bit of a pain, but it's so useful! 

Wow! No voluntary redundancy?? That seems silly! I guess they don't want all their best teachers to volunteer to go, so they can get rid of the ones they don't like. Still! Not exactly the best way to foster good relations with your staff.

Yeah, I quite like hot weather, but it does get ridiculos out here. In summer the average is 25, which compares to 17 degrees in Jersey, which is one of the hottest parts of Britain. It's definitely humid as well. It isn't as bad as Hong Kong (29 degrees) though, so I think I'll survive it.

When will you find out if you've been made redundant? Won't you have to leave before Aug 31st to do the EPIK training?

Ohh! It's June now :D Do let me know, I wonder if we'll be close! There are a fair few EPIK people in Daejeon. The weather is quite nice actually, but I'm dreading it getting hotter. I know that I'm going to die of heatstroke in the high summer. Especially because of that 2 week break! Never mind though :D I guess I'll just have to work out my air-con (I don't seem to have a remote!!). How's everything going at home? Are you still at your school or have you left yet? 

Hi Adam

How you getting on have you finished yet. xx

Hey! Glad to hear it :) Do you know where you'll be based yet? When do you get to find that out? I am indeed still loving life here, although I'm going home for 2 weeks soon and looking forward to that too! The weather is hot, mostly sunny but sometimes rainy and humid at the moment. It's very nearly summer proper! Although it was cooler today than it is normally.

Yeah, that sounds right, although because I'm from Jersey I went through the Jersey office.

Umm, I would shop around. I ended up getting my degree notarized by my aunt, who's a lawyer, but was quoted over £60 per document. However, I've heard of people getting it notarized for £5.
