Life In Korea

Understandably, some teachers will find adapting to a different culture difficult. The best way to offset the culture gap is by education. Read up on the country and the culture. This will help to explain the differences in that you will encounter.

    A noteworthy primer on Korea is:
    The Lonely Planet guide to South Korea
    Robert Storey
    Lonely Planet Publications

 New teachers may be surprised to find that the country is much more modern than they expected and opportunities are easily found to meet other foreigners and new Korean friends. Of note are the cleanliness, safety of its streets and kindness of its people and residents. The public transportation is also efficient and cheap.
