I would double check this information because I'm not 100% sure. I'm going to Korea in November to teach (although I do have a degree from the UK) and I thought that as long as you were a citizen from an English speaking country and you held a degree then it's fine. If your an American citizen and especially if your majoring in English I wouldn't have thought you would have a problem once you complete your degree. Like I said though I'm not 100% sure. Good luck.

To teach there you need to be a native English speaker but your degree can be anything as long as it's from an accredited English speaking university. Check with the Korean embassy though to be on the safe side and if there's a problem, there are plenty of other countries where you can work with a degree and TEFL certificate!

What sort of electronics travel adaptor do I need to travel from Australia to South Korea

What sort of electronics travel adaptor do I need to travel from Australia to South Korea?
Also, even with an adaptor will my electronics work when plugged into a Korean socket or are they on a different voltage? Basically; how can I get my Australian electronics to work in South Korea?

Korea is 220v and Australia is 240v...your electronics should be fine with just a simple plug converter... The best time to buy one is at the airport in Australia as you are leaving...or an electronics store before you leave...don't wait until you get here to Korea because it will be difficult to find... I bought a multi-converter that works for many different countries in the airport store the last time I traveled...

Korea runs on 220v while the Australia. runs on 240v cycles. So you need Down Voltage Regulator Converter to use ur electronics in korea. and other difference is that Australia has 3-pin plugs but Korea socket has 2-pin plugs! so if you want to use electronics which you buy in korea you need plug changer !! Good luck and have a great time in Korea!

What would the FBI be doing in South korea right now

What would the FBI be doing in South korea right now?
A friend of mine has a boyfriend and he says he is an fbi agent working in South Korea. This sounds fishy to me, I thought they only work close to the USA? Perhaps I am wrong, anyone know if they travel that far for longer periods of more than a months time?

Unless he's working with another agency, the FBI isn't supposed to be in South Korea; they don't have that kind of jurisdiction.
2 :
They are doing "official business"
3 :
the FBI has a "Legal Attache" assigned to each Embassy, and other federal investigative agencies also post personnel in foreign countries (embassys and consulates) for liaison with law enforcement, I was acting customs attache in Panama some years ago
