Need a Job?

So the economy totally sucks and the country's going down the tubes, but you've heard so many wonderful things about Korea (the South one, anyway). "Well, how the heck do I get over there?" you ask.

Just check out Shawn's step by step guide to teaching in Korea and you'll be on your way to becoming a multi-millionaire (exchange rates may apply)!

See you there!

BOOYAH!

Our contracts have arrived!

 Now we just have to make it up to VA to finish taking care of business ...

Korea or Bust

Not a lot going on here for the last few weeks, I know. You can chock it up to holidays and the fact that we haven't had much Interwebs access in LA. But not to worry, we're still on our way, slowly but surely. We still haven't received our official contracts (or "Notice of Appointments" as they like to say) from Korea yet, but we have been assured they will be here as soon as possible. Of course, who knows when as soon as possible will be - it may be mid-January or (now they tell us) even mid-February. Even though we have to be in Korea for orientation on Feb. 17th. And we have to have our visas before we can book a plane ticket to get to Korea. And we have to have our contracts before we can get a visa.

It's all a little frustrating because we thought all these things would be taken care of by now. But we still definitely have jobs. EPIK is just super busy tying up a lot of last details. In the meantime, we're packing up our stuff again and leaving Louisiana after being here for about a month. It was nice and relaxing and we got a few things taken care of for the trip. Now we're headed East again, to make some rounds with old familiars before our final stop in Virginia with my folks. Then we'll really have to take care of all the last minute preparations before we ship out.

So anyway, that's the status of our travels so far. We're kind of in a paper-work holding pattern, but we're still on the move. If you're on our route, see you soon!
