About visiting and working in South Korea

About visiting and working in South Korea?
If I were to travel to South Korea, and stay on a 3 month Tourist visa, would it be possible to get 'unofficial' work (as an English teacher or even stripper), how likely is that, and if so, what would be the consequences of getting caught? Deportation?

if ur from a western country (US,Canada,UK,Australia,New Zealand,S.Africa,etc) u dont need a 3 month tourist visa b/c ur passport alone makes it ok for u to stay in Korea up to 90 days. it used to be 30 days for americans and many hagwon owners (as well as recuiters) would ask naive newbie aspiring foreign teachers to get a tourist visa,arrive in korea and then go to japan to get a work visa. anyways, u can illegally teach private lessons to anyone who approaches u. be forewarned that many koreans DO NOT think u will get into trouble if caught teaching privates. koreans who teach private english lessons wont get in trouble...but u will. koreans are supposedto register stating they are teaching, but its hardly enforced for them. also watch out for strangers asking questions whether ur an english teacher, ur rates and actually anything general about teaching english. they could be moles trying to collect a reward for turning in a foreigner teaching privates. and please, if u do teach privates be smart enough to not take a english text and have ur lesson in a place like mcdonalds or a coffee shop or any public place like that. ur just asking to get caught and it will draw attention. deportation usually is the consequence of getting caught. and as far as stripping goes, i havent seen anyone do that yet (male or female).

Will wifi on my iphone work in South Korea without any cell service

Will wifi on my iphone work in South Korea without any cell service?
Here's the deal. I have an iphone through AT&T right now, and I plan on terminating my contract soon. I will be moving to South Korea for a year, and will not need the cell service. What I am wondering is will my wifi services still be available? Will I still be able to use my purchased apps when I am in wifi (not AT&T wifi, but my own personal wifi)? I want to be able to use skype and other apps, and just be able to browse the internet.

Certainly. South Korea adheres to the same international WIFI standard as most of the world. So long as you have an internet connection, a router for 802.11 (B,G) everything should be hunky dory.
