Who would be interested in teaching English in South Korea?
There is a high demand for the English language in South Korea. I am currently working here myself, and it is GREAT!!! Contact me if you have any questions. benefits: paid housing, plane tickets paid for, new experience, and making money. okay, #1 No im not Kim jeung-il #2 the tension is not between South Korea and the North. Its between UN, and America. They did everything they did, as an act for attention, and to squiggle their way into trading rights. #3 I've lived and worked in the US and bc of the economy now, anyone would be greatly benefitting themselves financially. (You pay for nothing to get here, or back home. The only bills you pay are electric and gas. monthly average=$45) #4 gets you out of your routine. Feel like you're doing the same thing over, and over...everyday? It mght take a lot, but once you're here, you're close to everything on this side of the world. (Austrailia, Japan, China, Malaysia,etc.) #5 Get off your ass! travel! experience new things! IF you want to see the world, you gotta start somewhere!!! I am only offering an option, there are many out there. #6 I have pictures of all the places I've visited while here. [I'll show you] (if you have facebook/myspace, let me know)

I think that it would be a very nice and rewarding experience. But there has also been a lot of tension near the Korean borders; so, there would be a lot to take into consideration. At my school, I am majoring in English Education, so I would be more than qualified for the position. There is still the issue, however, of the tension between the North and South Korean borders. Hope this helps, and good luck filling the position. So thanks, but for now, no thanks.

I got mugged today...how do I cope and make sure it doesn't happen again(I live in incheon south korea)?
Me and a couple of friends were walking down an alley after seeing a movie when about 5 or 6 high schoolers walked by us. One of them asked to use my phone so ,them being older then me in an secluded alley, I couldn't really refuse. Later I think he didn't even use the cell, cause there wasn't anything on the call history, he just used it to lead me away from my friends. Then another kid led me away to a secluded bench were he took out my wallet and started to go through it. I lost about 20 dollars but then again if I didn't have any money I'd be in big trouble. They also stole some cash from my friends too. No one was hurt and we only lost the money but I'm till really really pissed. What do you think I should have done and make sure it doesn't happen again?

Hey mate, I'm in Korea too, and its strange to hear of a mugging here, because its so safe usually I got this basic step strategy from the web and its how to deal with a person with a weapon, so I guess if it happens again just try to do the following: Stay calm. If you get the opportunity, quietly signal for help. Maintain eye contact with the assailant. Stall for time until help arrives or you can try to escape. Keep talking, but follow instructions from the person who has the weapon. Let them know that you are cooperating. Do not try to grab the weapon. Watch for a possible chance to escape to a safe area. Do not be a hero and risk harm to yourself or others. Do not verbally or physically challenge the person with the weapon. Make no sudden moves. If you need to move, tell the person with the weapon first. Do not resist. Tips: Be prepared to give the assailant your cash, wallet or jewelry. It is not worth the risk. Your life is more valuable than material possessions, which can be replaced. Try to remember the assailant's appearance and clothing, but do so carefully, without staring. After the confrontation call 9-1-1 as soon as possible. Notifying the police quickly will increase the chance of apprehending the suspect and preventing future victims. What You Need: A little courage and a lot of faith.

When is the cheapest time to fly to seoul, south korea?
When is the cheapest time to fly to seoul, south korea?
i have been rasing money and a really convenient time for me to go would be mid june to early july. but i'm guessing a lot of koreans are flying back late june, so woulld that make it more expensive or cheaper? i need help! thanks!

The most expensive time is around Christmas, it is cheaper either in the fall or spring when school is going on, but not in the fall near their Thanksgiving, which is usually around the first of October.
2 :
I'd say the low-season (when plane tickets aren't so expensive) is during spring and fall when school kids over there are still in school. Plus, Korean Airlines (KAL) I think is cheaper than Asiana Airlines. (They're both Korean companies, btw.)
3 :
Spring Break
4 :
Summer, unfortunately for you, is the most expensive time. This is primarily due to the summer holidays for families in the Diaspora wanting to go back to see family. I'd also think that Asiana is cheaper than Korean airlines direct, but indirect, certainly from Europe is cheaper via French or KLM ect.

How do I make money with a blog that gets 20+ views a day?
How do I make money with a blog that gets 20+ views a day?
My blog is starting to get 20+ views a day...Mostly from Japan and South Korea. It's an anime, video game, and computers/internet blog on Blogger and contains a little bit of adult content. I'm wondering what would be the best ways to make money off of it since I probably can't use AdSense due to the adult content...I already have an affiliate ad from a video game site that I made one sale with. The point is that my blog is growing in popularity and I want to start monetizing now...Even if I'll only be making pennies at first.

Why are American products so expensive in South Korea?
Why are American products so expensive in South Korea?
I was teaching in South Korea recently and noticed the extravagant prices on American and other Western products. For example, a cooking pot from USA costs 200$ while in Canada (my country) it's only 40$! Other things are the same: Pizza Hut costs 45$ for a medium pizza, salad and drinks. In Canada, around 25$ for the same thing! Clothes are even worse: a Lacoste shirt costs 250$. The same shirt is 90$ in Canada. It can't just be the import taxes, shipping costs, or the fee for using an American logo or brand name. What is this all about? It seems like the USA is deliberately gouging extra money out of the Koreans because the locals simply don't know any better and think that's a normal price. This also can't be explained by salary differences. I'd understand if Koreans made three times more per hour than Americans, but that's not the case. In fact, they make much less per hour! The minimum wage adds up to 4$ US!! Can anyone enlighten me on this?

It could be the importer or the store owner making a huge profit. Or it could be a way to encourage Koreans to buy Korean.

Teaching in South Korea?
Teaching in South Korea?
Is teaching in South Korea better than China? I found out Asia is easier to teach in than Europe because im American and not in the EU. I'm 17 and here's what I want to do. Get my 4 year degree in computer science here in the usa. Teach English and maybe be a private tutor. If I tutored I would work freelance from a laptop with my degree. I heard you can make good money teaching in S. Korea even compared to the usa. I looked at pics o Seoul and It looks awesome! So modern and I har they havesuch advanced technology we dont have here.

I would say go for Korea rather than China. Especially if you could land a job in or near Seoul. Seoul is IMO the second largest metro area in asia, behind Tokyo. I'm pretty sure you'll have a lot of fun. If you're looking to meet other foreigners while you're there, itaewon is your best bet.
2 :
What is better? South Korea and Japan pay the most for English teachers, but the cost of living is high. Apart from your degree get yourself a teaching certificate such as CELTA - it only takes 4 weeks. I teach in Vietnam - the salaries are lower but the cost of living is about as cheap as it gets. Other advice - be careful with accepting your first teaching position - check the school out thoroughly and make sure that they have a good rep.
3 :
I have lived in both countries, and still travel there frequently. A LOT of the ads for English teachers are a sheer rip-off, and what you make will BARELY let you live. The first thing you want to ask is do they make you surrender your passport. It's not legal for them to do, but it is still a very widespread practice. It forces you to stay for the entire duration of your contract. I have yet to be in either country and not come in contact with a teacher or two who's also dying to get out of country. THAT being said.... I've also met several that are pretty well to do - but they work for themselves and teach "informally". Their rates are about triple and they seldom lack for students, so it can be done. Just be careful.
4 :
Teaching in South Korea is the best country in Asia for making money. Japan's salaries are slightly higher, but the cost of living is greater there. You won't make much money in mainland China; however, Taiwan is a good option. Of course four years down the road many things can change.
5 :
The people who do the best in teaching on the side are the ones who are hooked up with a well known after-hours school (school after school) or know affluent families (connections). Both, especially the latter, require Korean. You obviously make more in Korea than China, it's true. And yes, I know people who make 50k+ in their 'side job' but it's not usually the norm for newcomers. Some parts of Seoul are not very modern. Just like any other city. Some parts are great, some are pretty darn boring and ugly.
