4 out of 5 stars Terrific, practical info., yet a little outdated   August 15, 2007
The book is a terrific guide for teachers traveling to Korea. I was employed through a recruiting agency so a small portion of the book was irrelevant. The only other complaint is the recommended books are hard to get a hold of. I have yet to find one that is still in-print. For a recent graduate with no teaching experience, and no teaching certificate, this book gave me some confidence and prepared me.

I think since it was published over 10 years ago, some of the information is not useful. For a general idea, it is good to read.


5 out of 5 stars Korea is a wonderful country   September 16, 2005

This book gives you tips on the exciting, but not hastily endeavored world of teaching in Korea. I had wonderful experiences in Korea and married a kind, gentle, Korean man.

I agree with others who have noted that if you check this mo jo's other reviews you will find repeated bashing of other cultures, particularly Asian cultures in numerous book "reviews" and the bashing of other reviewers who do not share his/her particular hangups.

Teaching in Korea was one of the best experiences in my life. I learned a lot about myself and about another culture. I met my wife there, too! And I became a very good teacher (even earning a Teacher of the Month award at my school). The kids were hysterical.
Don't be put off by the negative crowd. You can have a great time in Korea. You just need to find a good school and the right crowd. Regular visits to the Seoul Pub helped a lot too!
This book has a lot of good ideas how to adapt and how to make the most of your time in Korea. The Koreans are great- they love to drink and have a good time! Be warned- they can probably drink you under table!
