Okay...so it's been a long time since I updated this...I swear I'm getting worse. There was halloween with the kids; that was great. We (the foreign teachers) were paid to make a haunted house. Where I work we have a small jungle gym that we created into a maze with some spots for various horrors (I was a jack-in-a-box with the face of the Joker). Then we got told we had to make the Kids cry. Trust...

Update in South Korea

So, yeah, I know..it's been a long time since I updated. I was gonna try and keep a weekly update but things got a little hectic and I got a little lazy...and so it's been like months...lol. Summer vacation I went with a load of people to Jeju Island for five days...it rained the first day - like typhoon rain - but the waterfalls were amazing, the beaches were pretty cool and I managed to...

Hi, not sure if you check this but I am on the EPIK program for Feb 2011, thanks for the bits of advice you passed my way. The document gathering was without major incident, but makes you feel it is not gonna work out. It did. Im waiting on contract for Incheon or Daegu- hopefully.

I just wanted to vent my excitement! You still enjoying it? Any last minute tips?

Thanks for the help :)

Hello! I was wondering if you could help me. I'm so confused about the visa process. When you sent your basic disclosure to be stamped and to the korean embassy, did you get it notarized or signed by a solicitor? As different websites say different things so I'm really confused now haha

Thanks

Hi Emily how are things goin for you over there hope all is good. Im just doing the course now i have the weekend course in september looking forward to that. I really cant wait to go over there

Where did you get your writing degree at?

Thanks! That helps alot. I think I'll stick with i to i. You enjoying Korea so far?? :)

Thanks for the reply. Im building a coherent picture in my mind made up of all the information im collecting. Actually its not that coherent.

I enjoy writing about nothing. Just people, passions, emotions, and describing things. I read Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Dostoyevsky and other such romantic, dreaming authors. Its fun, not sure if ill ever get published from it, but its fun to be a struggling writer. very cliched!

whats a writing degree and what do you like reading? i find it hard to write when im doing stuff and only get words down when im totally unemployed, and free, and therefore thinking too much. I like meeting writer people, i dont know many. The greats all had writer buddies, Hemingway and Fitzgerald, Camus and Sartre. I have their words, that i steal from, but thats it. what inspires you?

i enjoyed writing that.

Hi, I started reading your blogs and found them really useful. I hope to go to Korea early 2011 and was wondering which agency would you recommend??

Thanks

Laura :)

Hi, I was wondering how long the whole application process took you to get the position? I have decided that disapearing away IS the plan and I am massively excited and when to get somewhere quick. Japan is my number one but South Korea is the back up, as well as the China internship.

Plus, any pearls of wisdom about applying would be welcome.

Hi Emily

How are you? I am ready to start my course now in the next week or so. I plan on heading to South Korea to teach the end of the year. I have been reading yours blogs and find them very interesting. Are you enjoying it over there?
