Next stop Saha

I got a job! After a few weeks of sending out my resume, filling out applications and speaking to school directors in Korea over the phone I finally found a position that fit. I start teaching January 16th and will be living in Busan (a.k.a. Pusan) South Korea. Details:

  • One year contract
  • Fulltime schedule teaching kindergarten and elementary age students
  • Airfare to and from Korea paid for by school
  • Single apartment, fully furnished, entirely rent free
  • Monthly salary more than twice what I'm making here in the Czech Republic
  • Located in Saha, a suburb of Busan, Korea's third largest city
  • Near the beach and the prestigious Dong University (anyone who wants a Dong U. tee-shirt just email me)



Michelle is still looking for a position but she's been shown a job in Saha as well so hopefully we'll be close by each other. Also my friend Todd will be in Busan and I have a friend Katie living in Seoul, three hours north. Should be a blast. I'm really looking forward to it.

And now I'm left with just a week left in Prague. It's been a great six months and I'm really glad I came. I plan on spending a few days here in the city sightseeing and saying goodbye. On Thursday I'm heading to Madrid for three days and then next Monday I'm heading home to San Diego. It'll be good to spend a month at home with friends and family before I start my next journey to Korea.

Sean,

apparently no one is commenting on your blog, so I will do so merely out of pity. Not like you're going to read it until I see you in a few days and tell you that I commented and that you should read it, and you'll read it in my presence and I'll realize that though this started out as a funny premise, it quickly downspiraled into a TJ joke w/a Mike punchline.

see you in a few days buddy
