I know this may sound like a stupid question, but, Is it possible to get a non Korean speaking Non Teaching job in Korea??    I met my Korean wife elsewhere came here and have discovered that really teaching isn't for me.  Or am I scr*wed???    Constructive advice is welcomed :)

I am occaisionally sane, moderately intelligent and intermittently witty.

Thanks in Advance!!

''Teaching little kids in Geoje Island!!!!!!!It is very prestigious kids program in Korea and they are looking for a teacher who is good at with younger kids. ''

Please....it's a kids hogwan and with hours like that when would you see this beautiful island?

Man, I wish people would give more information in regards to the actual jobs instead of trying to steroid it up with distractions. I mean what do apples and fashion have to do with teaching in Daegu?  nothing.

We need to know much money base, how much for overtime, show me picks of the apt., is it shared? if so...I want a stipend instead and something current (400,000+w). I'm not 18 and in college anymore. How much vacation? Do I pick my vacation or do you let me go the last two weeks of my contract? I want airfare home, just because I'm here doesn't mean you get a freebie. Do you offer a relocation allowance? my shit doesn't move for free neither will I.  

These are some of the things you need to know; not 'we have a famous fish market'. Please.....

I'm looking for a awesome yoga studio. One that has lots of classes and types of yoga. Currently I'm living in Ocheonjang...and would be willing to travel a couple stops to get a good workout. Oh and I've taken Yoga in Korean before and I"m fine with it. Thanks!

Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with laser hair removal in Busan?

Can anyone recommend a clinic that they have had a positive experience with?  I am looking for a place that does legs and that has an English-speaking doctor or staff.

Thanks for any help!

Does anyone know where I can buy wax for at-home use in Busan?  I thought they would carry it in pharmacies, large grocery stores, etc., but I've yet to see it here.

If anyone can point me in the right direction or has seen this produce anywhere, please let me know!

Much appreciated!

Does anybody know the situation if  a Hagwon shuts down, are there any regulations regarding payment of the remaining months in the contract ie have 6 month done and have 6 months left.

Info would be much appreciated

Anyone have the number of a good handyman?

 

Any thoughts on where to find a good selection of English board games for a reasonable price? Close to Nampo-dong would be amazing.

I am a runner in the process of moving to Busan. While I am there, I would like to train for the Busan Marathon held in November. Does anybody know of any running/trainning groups (Formal or Informal) that I can join?

The Busan Bulls rugby team (RFC) is looking for more men and women to get involved in the ever-growing sport of rugby here in Korea. Korean nationals and foreigners alike are encouraged to come out and have some fun with other laid-back folks who love to have a good time. No experience needed, great way to meet new people in a social atmosphere, the ability to travel around Korea for games (Seoul, Ulsan, Daegu, etc), and get fit while having a great time. Just casual games scheduled so far, so it won't be a big commitment. Enjoy the good-times culture of rugby here in Korea while the beautiful Busan sun shines. For more information, email Pete (pete.crozier@yahoo.com), or visit us on facebook.

I can't find any website with bus routes so I'm asking here.  Is a bus the best way to Iksan?  Do I take the bus from Sasang or Dongnae?

Hello,

I'm wondering if there is any way to obtain an international drivers license once you are already in Korea. Is switching to a Korean driver's license the only option?

Also, I've been trying to find a reliable source for driving laws in Korea. I read somewhere that bikes with small engines like 50cc don't require a license to drive. Can anyone verify?

 

Thanks,

E

 Anyone know of places in Busan that teach breakdancing?

I was interested in starting (or joining an already established) speaking club. The problem is, the Toastmasters Club that meets at PNU is not as the best time for Hagwon teachers such as myself.

I would like to see who is interested in getting together a few times a week to work on public speaking skills. Whether or not we start an official Toastmasters group can be discussed at a later date. For now, please just let me know if you're interested and we can sort things out at a later date.

Thanks everyone.

I have been teaching at my school ( private ) for about 3 months and have been offered another position at an Elementary school.Since my daughter will be attending this school, my current employer is willing to give me a letter of release. Can I transfer my visa to the new school or do I have to do the visa run?

If I have to do the visa run, how long do I have to wait for the visa issuance number before I can leave for Japan? I need to make sure that I am not unemployed for too long.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Hi! Are there any sports teams or leagues for foreigners in Busan? I know it is probably early to be asking this question, but I am very interested in joining a recreational volleyball and softball or baseball league. If you know of any, let me know!
