What We Love

• The food.

• The friendly people.

• The community feeling in the neighborhoods.

• Seeing my happy students every day, and enjoying a quick game of “rock, paper, scissors” (Kaiy, baiy, bo – in Korean) with them.

• Having a gathering of friends (party) on the flat roof of our house.

• Abundance of travel opportunities within Korea – mountains, beaches, temples.

• Dinner out with friends, including drinks for $10.

• Cheap, efficient and modern transportation within the city or country.

• Meeting people from all over the world.

• Easy travel to Thailand, China, Japan, Vietnam, Malaysia etc.

• Saving more than 2.0 mil KRW as a couple each month.

• No large monthly rent, car payment, car insurance, bills or gas to worry about.

• Having a gorgeous mountain about a 15 minute walk from our house for hiking.

• Driving a motorbike to work!

• Learning a new language and culture.

• Working only 25 to 30 hours a week…many contracts starting at 3pm!

• The freedom we have with our time and money.

• The wonderful feeling I get when I see the light in a students eye, when they “get it” after you have been working on something for thirty minutes.
