Pre-Korea

Hello friends, Brett here...

Now that we have figured out what this "Blog" stuff is all about I guess we should let you know what "We" are all about. Our aim for the immediate future is to teach English to the school children of South Korea for the period of a year. We are currently in the planning stage of this expedition and as the adventure, excitement and drama has already began we thought we should start documenting these happenings.

We are hoping to begin teaching in the city of Gwangju at the beginning of August. Those of you whose math skills are strong would have already realized that this is only about 6 weeks from now. So you would assume that we must have a really fantastic job lined up, plane tickets booked, Visa's in hand and are sitting back finally enjoying the Canadian sunshine... not quite. After successful interviews with 2 schools in Korea we were offered positions at both, each of which later fell through... We are now negotiating with a third school and are hopeful that it will be a case of "third time lucky" for us.

So welcome to the Pre-Korea chapter of what we hope will be an interesting and exciting documentation of our intrepid journey into "The land of the morning calm" ...South Korea.
