We do have five days though. Could escape Seoul and bounce down to the west coast, another Gwangju goon trip maybe?

Ffffffuck. Always read the notes on app updates. Cause the notes in the last Jihachul update which I neglected to check until it was too late read: Added ads and the ability to remove ads with in-app purchases.

Counterpoint, I've loved my time here. Unless you have a specific attachment to Korea there may be better choices for starting ESL. I know a bunch of people who've switched to Vietnam for better contracts and are loving it there.

That's about the time I do my annual autumn hike in Seoraksan, so weather wise it's good for hiking. Jeju will be a bit nippy for the beach, but it should be slightly less crowded with tourists (I don't particularly think there's anything on Jeju that needs to be prioritized over the mainland sights on a short trip though). There's a minor holiday at the beginning of November, but it's not one of the ones that will affect travel at all.

My elementary books, published in 2015, use live videos and a few guys in chat use to discuss their curriculums live videos. They are awkward, but nothing approaching the stuff in that link.

Actually very few of the Korea goons are still teachers, most have moved on to other things. Speaking the language helps a lot, having a unique skill also. Knowing people helps the most. I don't think you'd be able to make the necessary connections to land a visa sponsoring job in a few months, let alone a few weeks, though.

It's safer for men like anywhere in the world, yeah. Girls I know who've lived in the US and elsewhere do consider Korea dramatically safer though. Crime rates are about on par with Japan all around I believe.

Yeah Seoul is safer than the European cities you mentioned. It's still the real world so danger exists, but you'd be hard pressed to find a safer large city that isn't Tokyo. Pollution wise it sometimes has some smog but nothing remotely approaching what you find in China.

Suwon's violent crimes are higher relative to other Korean cities, but compared to large cities in the US, or most anywhere else... eh. I think most of its reputation comes from a handful of high profile crimes from a while back, but it's true that a lot of Koreans will refuse to go there based on said reputation.

A day didn't go by at my elementary school where someone didn't make someone else bleed. poo poo, kids from my school and Let Us English's school had a rumble- kids brought baseball bats to it! Yeah, I've said this before, but the stories from you, Let Us English, and Fromage have told just make want to say gently caress Ulsan forever. The poo poo I hear from there is all nightmarish and doesn't correspond to my experience or the experience of any of my friends around Daegu at all. Like, interschool rumbles are just beyond my imagination for Korea. The gently caress?

I don't know if "someone who likes kpop" is quite the same as a koreaboo. Like enjoying the pop music doesn't mean you've moved to the country and put up with poo poo salary for it. Like, yeah most people enjoy kpop. Because most people enjoy pop period.

Can we switch to kpop chat just to irk people? The people most sensitive to it aren't even in country anymore so their feelings don't matter. It's almost time for summer girl group songs! Whose do you think will have the best song/video? Last years winners for song were clearly Sistar with AoA as a close second. However that was largely due to a poor showing from Girl's Day normally take the category. What are your thoughts? No fair naming a third group because I might not know who they are.

Yeah Cheer Up being so forgettable after Ooh Aah was such a solid pop hit sucked! Doubt they'll be joining in on the summer hits so quickly though. Oh hey AoA's entry is in. Everyone in chat has watched and discussed but are too big of pussies to post here and have kpop on their permanent record but idgaf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sno_genwMz8 It's pretty boring.

Wait, is the chorus from Cheer Up actually supposed to be "Cheer up?" Cause if so, holy christ the pronunciation is wretched even by kpop standards, to the point where I assumed it must be Korean and the English title is never spoken.Whizbang posted:They had to take this video down and reupload because they forgot to blur out the Japanese car manufacturers. Also one of the members had some faint shadows in a shot that soooort of looked like underboob but were probably compression artifacts yet it still outraged people, so they had to fix those. Still not as funny as the time almost all of an snsd video was lost during editing because the companies hard drive crashed and their was no backup, so the final result was just a few headshots run through goofy video filters and like .5 seconds of dancing.

Eifert Posting posted:My buddy is planning on teaching in Korea, he has teaching experience elsewhere and has a Tesol and all that. Do any of y'all have a go to recruiter. He's Vietnamese-Australian so I'm worried a lot of Hagwons will be mysteriously uninterested in him. He's OK with country positions (Even though I've told him he's more likely to see racism there). Should he be expecting 2.2-2.3 or have wages gone up/down? Should be 2.3 for rural with the year of teaching experience + tesol. If he gets a truly rural post (not just suburbs) he might have 2.4-2.5 after the additional bonus. I think Korvia is the recruiter everyone in chat uses. Since I coincidentally have the Epik page open, Incheon, Busan and Daegu would pay him 2.1, and Jeju or smaller cities will pay 2.2.

TreFitty posted:lol, as a guy that deals with this kind of customer (from an IT standpoint) daily, this is hilarious. Got links? As someone who works in film it was hilarious because it means they were editing on the original data dump drive, which you never do for a host a reasons. It's amateurish as gently caress. I don't have the links, but googling girls generation hard drive might pull the news stories up. Or you'll find koreaboos talking about their creepy image collections. Whichever. In other weird kpop news, AoA gave a tearful apology for not recognizing several famous figures in Korean history during a game show hosted by their own company. Said extremely tearful apology was given while wearing the red baywatch swimsuits from their new song. It is weird and probably someone's fetish.
