Loving this information, I have done a lot of reading about teaching english in South Korea planning on becoming a teacher this year. I’m still quite a few months out but it’s exciting to read about when day to day life in America gets dull. Thanks!

Comment on Top 10 Things to do in South Korea Outside of Seoul by Lucy

Southeastern Asia is a great place for a vacation spot: Seoul, Tokyo, Hanoi, Singapore are just a few examples of how different the world is. There are a lot of attraction around these cities too, but it requires time to be able to visit everything there is to see there.

Hey there, I am about to graduate from college and I am very interested in teaching abroad! If you dont mind, can I ask you a few questions!! Is it very dangerous in Taiwan? How much money should I bring over? Is the culture difference a shock???

Comment on 10 Tips for Teaching in ESL Classrooms by Carrie

Hi Shannon,

Now it’s my turn for a delayed response. So sorry about that!

I was in Changchun for three years. I think that’s just a few hours away from Shenyang. I spent a weekend in Shenyang visiting the old palace grounds there. It’s a really pretty city, but I can imagine it was a huge adjustment. I remember what Changchun was like in 2003. They didn’t open their first foreign coffee shop until 2004 and we had to wait weeks to get things like cheese and Kraft Dinner in! All in all, though, I wouldn’t change my experience in Changchun for the world. Making the decision to stay away from larger cities was just about the best decision I’ve ever made. It really forced me to learn the language and dig into learning more about my co-workers and local customs. Plus, the students were amazing!

Hi Carrie,
It’s great hearing from you. I apologize for my delayed response, I now live in Italy and have had many recent visitors. Which city were you in? I was living in Shenyang. It was quite an adjustment living and working in China, buy overall I enjoyed my time there. Over the two years, I taught at a middle school, kindergarten and English Language Center. My students were wonderful. As I mentioned, they were shy but very displined and eager to improve their English. It was my first experience teaching abroad and quite a learning experience! Would love to hear about your experience as well.
