I'm in South Korea, teaching ESL. I'm looking for places to visit on a budget...?We Answered:
You Bet!! The USO in Seoul outside Yongson Post offers a ton of info and cheap tours. It's actually open to everyone, not just soldiers and they will HOOK YOU UP!They are very nice, and you can even have an American meal and watch American TV.
I loved the Korean Folk Village, as well as the Seoul Tower. The Prison Museum in Seoul is also very cool, it's cheap, and will take you a whole day.
Have fun!

Pregnant and quitting ESL teaching in Korea...?We Answered:
The previous two answerers clearly don't know the Korean system. I have worked on and off in Korea since 1996. I have seen teachers leave for numerous reasons and you have a good one. It happens, and Korean bosses know it.There are two pieces of information that would really help me answer this question better: how good is your relationship with your boss and do you ever want to come back to Korea to teach English again? I will answer without knowing and give you two different recommendations.
Remember, you need to do what's best for you. Don't worry about your students, coworkers or boss. Believe me, they don't care about you (especially the boss).
1. If your relationship is good with your boss and you might want to come back and teach someday, the absolute best thing that you can do is find someone to replace you and tell your boss the exact date that you need to leave and that you have another teacher to replace you. Any reasonable boss will accept this since business will carry on as usual. You shouldn't have to worry about getting your pay in full. If you can't find someone to replace you, I would take option #2.
2. Do a "midnight run." There is NO loyalty in the English teaching industry in Korea on either side. After you get paid, get all of your money and belongings ready to go. Leave the night you get paid and don't look back. After your boss realizes that your gone, you will have some pissed off coworkers covering your classes and the boss will scramble to find someone else to replace you. There is no shortage of teachers in Korea, but it can be hard to get a replacement on short notice. Of course, you will be on the plane going back home so you don't care. Your boss will probably put your name on the blacklist which means it will be very difficult to get a teaching job in Korea again.
Good luck to you. You can e-mail me if you have and further questions.
