I returned to Korea, but the job market wasn’t what I’d hoped. So I enrolled full-time in a Korean language school, and hunkered down for a long-erm job search while living at a cheap hostel in Suwon (south of Seoul). I travelled to Japan (Kyushu) in April, and then at the end of that month I started a new job at Hongnong Elementary (public school), in rural Jeollanam Province. I really enjoyed being an elementary school teacher, and I made a lot of friends among my Korean co-workers, but my principal (boss) was xenophobic (hating foreigners) and the housing situation was very unstable – I was moved into four different apartments over a one-year contract. I solidified my at-least-once-a-day blogging habit, though.
[This entry is part of a timeline I am making using this blog. I am writing a single entry for each year of my life, which when viewed together in order will provide a sort of timeline. This entry wasn’t written in 2010 – it was written in the future.]
