          I lived in Daegu for 15 months back in '89-'90. Relatively nice place, IIRC. If you like climbing, Opsan Mountain is very nice and overlooks Daegu. Kumosan Mountain (in Kumi, about an hour up the highway from Daegu) has a beautiful Buddhist Temple on its top.
          There is also a resort island off the south coast of Korea - can't recall its name right now, but it was always highly receommended to me while I was in country. And of course theres always the DMZ for the more adventuresome.....
          Anyways, good luck and have fun!

              the resort island is cheju (jeju). it's its own province, so it's cheju-do, but it's also an island, so it's also cheju-do. wonderful nectarines.

                    Dang Stoo! What an adventure! That sounds fantastic! Hurry up and leave, so you can hurry up and get back and tell us all about it!

                    Good luck and Godspeed, friend!

                      Thanks everyone.

                      Obviously Boshko is right about the qualifications. My degree and British passport are all I needed. If you wanted to teach at a University (more money, probably more fun, likely less chance of getting screwed) then you'd need a formal qualification in teaching english as a second language.

                        It sounds like the weather over there will remind me very much of home.

                            An interesting sidenote is that the terms of my contract specify that having a sexual relationship with another member of staff will be a sackable offence. Which is kinda funny since they'll also be employing my girlfriend.

                                oh, one thing that's different from the west...

                                be prepared to see everything (or virtually everything) attached to one of the big corporate names, like samsung, hyundai, lg, sk...

                                also, get used to everybody and their mother and second cousin-twice removed and her roommate having cellphones (hen.deu.pon).
