Life in the RoK

I arrived in Korea knowing very little. I had a big mix up with the airline and almost got stranded in Qatar when changing planes but my agent sorted everything out and I got to Korea in one piece.

I was picked up at the airport by a taxi and delivered to my school to be introduced to my manager and coworkers and then taken to my new apartment to settle in.

I had a few pointers from my coworkers on what to do in class but it was fairly straight forward and I got into the rhythm pretty quickly.

I have now been in Korea for 5 years. I absolutely love living here. The food is amazing and the people are friendly. The job is rewarding and life is good.

I would definitely recommend giving it a go. Even if only for a year it is a great opportunity to experience Asian culture and a good base for travel in Asia too.
