GEPIK and EPIK are also good. To be honest though, I just found my job through craigslist. Hagwon jobs basically hire year round so just search for private education/hagwon. Some hagwon names are pagoda, bcm, ybm. You should also ask people on the message boards on davesesl. They usually know more than I do.
Incheon is pretty far away from Seoul actually. It's about 1 hour to center Seoul from there. You are pretty close to a small island though so that's good for vacation. I tried to go there last week before rain gayed me. My students say the beach near the airport is dirty but if you go to the opposite side of the island (Eulwangi Beach) it's really nice. |

So a lot of the information I've gathered in my research is outdated. Apparently now I need an apostiled criminal record check to get a work visa? I got arrested for weed and alcohol five years ago. Am I totally fucked? |

Koreans really like weed and alcohol, so you should be okay as long as you tell them you're diamond league in Starcraft 2. |

Brett, have you ever played the Korean drinking game where you fill a bowl with beer and people put their cigarette ashes and spit and other nasty stuff into it, and then the first person who touches the bowl has to drink it all? |

Well, having a drug charge isn't the greatest thing to have, especially since they're ratcheting up the standards. I wouldn't know though since I have no criminal charges. I'll ask my coworkers if they know any drug guys that work here. That's probably a question better suited for the esl forums.
Ace, I've never heard of that game and wouldn't play it even if I did. Titanic is awesome though! |

The game is tricking someone into touching the bowl. |

It appears my only option is to attempt to attain a clean criminal record from a state I've never lived in and then hope that the Korean immigration official doesn't realize what it means to have a degree from Massachusetts and a criminal record from New York. |

Can't you get your record expunged? |

That would be considerably more of a pain in the ass. I've been asking the Dave's ESL forum and apparently as long as I have a relative in the state that issues the criminal record check, I can put their address as mine on my resume and immigration won't bat an eyelash. |

No, but I'm pretty sure it's the same as Go. |

bekji or babo
If a game doesn't involve gambling, cards or Ganondorf punching Nintendo characters in the face, I don't play it. |

How old were you when you were arrested for weed and alcohol? Your record might have been expunged at this point (in particular if you did diversion classes). Also it sort of depends on the nature of the charges.
However, now that I've said that, what kind of dumbass gets arrested for alcohol and weed charges? I smoked pot everyday for almost a decade and never once got arrested or caught. Mike Dunn more like Mike Dumb!
