South Korea
Method of Madness:
Anyone here from/ever been to South Korea? I'm moving there in May to teach English, and was hoping I could get advice on some things.
Sorflakne:
Juice bars are fun, just keep an eye on your spending.
Barmymoo:
I haven't ever been to Korea but I do tutor a South Korean boy in English. He is nine years old and his english is excellent. I don't know if this is usual or if he is just very bright and the fact that he lived in America for a year might help too, but I was impressed.
This is a blog by a Canadian who teaches english in South Korea, you might have seen it already but if not, it's great and definitely worth a read.
Trollstormur:
Isn't that that place where they jail people for posting things the government doesn't like on twitter?
Is it cold in here?:

I've never been there. From what I've read, national pride runs high, so the advice you'd follow everywhere about being respectful and avoiding local politics is especially important.
It's said to be almost impossible to practice your Korean, since everyone is determined to speak English with you.
