so you say you are interested
in teaching abroad?
and you are thinking about coming to Korea?
let me tell you right now,
teaching abroad is not for everyone.
and Korea is probably not for everyone either...
but if your on the fence
about plans for your future,
you should consider this burst of
persuasion.
at least think about it.
number one:
i teach some of the
cutest kids you've
ever seen.
number two:
Koreans grow massive amount of their produce
in country.
and let me tell you...
whatever comes with the season...
will take your breath away.
number three: the old men.
sometimes these lovely old men
might invite
you to drink a little beer
and eat a little squid with them
because you just happened to be
sitting in their favorite spot
in the park.
the spot where they have
sat,
drank,
and munched on squid together
for the past...
the past forever.
number four: rice fields.
because they are just actually so awesome.
so foreign to me.
and so breathtakingly beautiful.
number five:
you get to wear amazing shoes like this...
at work.
typically with socks
showcasing the most popular
cartoon characters.
and if it's winter...
you get to wear slippers.
number six:
mogyoktangs.
i.e.
korean bath houses.
with separate bathing areas for
men and women
[yes you will be naked throughout this whole experience]
you will discover
something so wonderful
you'll wonder how you ever lived without
such pure
bliss.

Korean co-teachers.

they will make your life better.

worth it.

is take the time to get to know them.
they've changed my life.
that's for sure.
and i will never be the same again.
number eight:
after the long winter color emerges in the form of...
cherry blossoms.
and it's just as magical as it sounds.
number nine:
Korean baseball.
best.sporting.event.i've.ever.been.to.

the special coffee drinks.
