Yes. Don't worry. Be happy. Just enjoy.

You'd need an adaptor for the plug

You'll probably need a stepdown transformer, because Korea was going to 240 volts, 50 cycles power.

You would need to speak Korean fluently for that. The only jobs which are readily avaliable for foreigners in Korea are 1. English Teaching. You have to have a B.A and live in and have been born in a country where English is the native language --- U.S, U.K, Canada -- etc. 2. Military. You can join the military again and hope to get stationed in Korea, I know nothing about the U.S military though, but since you've had 10 years experience already might they listen to your request to be stationed in Korea? There are various other jobs like working in International Relations, Shipbuilding, Business, etc --- but these are specialied jobs you would have had a job already in, in the U.S or which you would have majored in in College.

Can 2 parents working as English teachers in South Korea support 3 kids

Can 2 parents working as English teachers in South Korea support 3 kids?
I want to move to South Korea, I've researched it extensively and found much to like, and it seems the easiest way in would be as an english teacher. However, most of what I've seen about that lifestyle seems geared to singles, right down to employer-provided 1 bedroom apartments, and we have 3 little boys.

With 2 parents working, You might have enough plus more for your living expenses. But the real problem with having (foreign) kids in Korea is the school fees. Since they can't speak Korean, you will have a hard time enrolling them in public school. And private English speaking schools are really, really expensive. Even the English speaking kindy schools are quite pricey. If you can consider homeschooling maybe it'll work.

Well, depends also on how young your children is as well. I agree public school is a bit hard for them to enrol due to the language itself as well and international schools are very expensive. The money is usually "just" enough if you dont need much.. thats what I heard from a few friends of mine who lives in Korea to teach English.
