Soon I will begin teaching English in Korea for a year, but the details are still pending. I have been waiting for a NOA (Notice of Arrival) from EPIK (English Program in Korea http://www.epik.go.kr/) since Christmas. Apparently they are hiring more teachers than ever and are simply backed up on writing the contracts. All I know is that I will be living somewhere in the province of Jeonbuk (Jeollabuk-do http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeollabuk-do). I will be leaving the third week of February, will spend a week in Seoul for orientation, and begin teaching in early March. I don't know what age level I will be teaching or what my living situation will be like.
I plan on taking my classical guitar, lots of journals, art pencils, some tai chi books, my laptop full of ebooks, some chopsticks, a handmade philosophy mug, and some nice clothes. I hear it is difficult to find deodorant and large shoes there.
