Its all in how you look at it. Right now tensions are high, but they always are. If we do go to war with north korea and they use nucular weapons, it will be agains the allies of south korea. So from the perspective your probably safe. As far as ground war though, youll be the front lines. That can be good or bad. Working in japan or germany is pretty dull as i hear it. So whatever your tastes are. High excitement- south korea, medium- germany/japan

Couple of things about Korea... 1. You have a real life enemy sitting just across the border and within artillery range. This makes readiness a priority. You will learn how to live under a constant state of readiness. 2. Training - you do it all of the time. In my 19 months in ROK I spent probably 9 of them in the field.

What Hogwon in Seoul, South Korea has the best working conditions?
I am 100% serious about going to Seoul to teach English. I have my BA, and TEFL, and I have taught in Korea before, but I had a very bad school and a very bad experience. I would like the opinion of a fellow American, not some recruiter trying to get a commission off of me.

Hi, I am not American but English and I worked in Gangnam for 2 years and had a very good experience. I 100% now what you mean as I had a few hours who had problems getting paid and who got messed around etc. I taught 1-to-1 and had a great time and I would strongly recommend teachign 1-to-1 with a well known institute because they are far less likely to stake their reputation for the sake of not paying a foreign teach. YBM and Direct English I know are both genuine schools as I have friends working at them (including a few Americans). I've written a lot about my own experiences on http://www.seoulkoreaasia.com/chapter1.htm I am NOT a recuiter. Just designed the site as have lots of korean friends etc now and love web design.

There is something called wire transfer where the bank will transfer funds from one bank to another there is a fee associate with it, around $15.00. You will need their bank account number and the bank routing number there are shown in their cheques. Good luck!!

You should see if there is a Citibank or HSBC - both of those usually offer convertible currencies. Some other banks might also, just check at different banks to see. It will probably cost you a fee to do it, though. You could also try a postal money order, which you then mail and your family would exchange it at home for US dollars.

5 :
Well, I dont really know if im 'well travelled' in Korea... but, I can recommend you to go to Kyung Joo... its only an hour or so from Ulsan. Kyung Joo is a bit more expensive than the rest of Korea because its aiming at tourists. In Kyung Joo you can see really big temples, tomb sites of old kings, museums etc etc etc. It's a really nice place, the buses run frequently, there is a great information kiosk next to the bus terminal (Im not sure if they speak english or not... but I assume they would), then you can eat the famous Bori bbang! Yum. It is a really interesting area, maybe more fun if you have friends, I did it by myself and it was just as fun, if you are upto it, you can hire a bike too. Other areas I find lovely are GangWon Do which is north of Seoul. Its especially nice in Autumn and Summer. There are many places along the East river which are so beautiful. My friends are white water rafting guides in Gang Won Do, they also do lots of hang gliding, parachuting, water skiing.... there are lots of fun things to do there. For fun things.... Im not sure what your idea of fun is.... There are numerous theme parks, and generally im a HUGE fan of theme parks, but Korean ones... you have to wait and wait and wait, and honestly its not that much fun after waiting for an hour. Busan is good in the summer time, because of the beaches, and at night time everyone congregates on the beach, and they have big parties, and often there are concerts, and every night the ferry sets off fireworks. I spent a few nights on the beach hahaha. Just watch out for the pigeons in the morning, they like to bite your toes when you're sleeping. Busan has some beautiful temples also, and lots of other things. Busanites are proud of their fish markets too... interesting to walk through... see some things that you arent quite sure what they are! Bit smelly though. I lived in Busan for about 7 months... I would recommend just getting on a bus, and going somewhere. Transport is good in Korea, and if you get stuck somewhere... just wait it out, and get on the next bus back. Seoul has a city bus tour, which I recommend, you can get on an doff wherever you like... and its only 10,000 for the day. Also it gives you discounts to some of the places for admission. You can see old palaces, traditional viallages, it takes you up Nam San, museums, shopping etc. There are lots of unique things to see in Korea, many things you can just stumble across.

I suggest you listen to kara nari. She knows what she's talking about. I myself have lived three years in Ulsan and it was a blast. Most of the times I went with Korean friends, so I suggest you do the same. Just go to the downtown area in Ulsan and ask the locals. You can even go to one of the many foreigner bars and ask the guys there. I know of one specific pub, The Royal Knight where you can go. It's right next to the BIG WATCH in downtown. These guys there, lots of Americans, Canadians, Australians and South Africans, go on trips almost every weekend. Then at least you can move in a group and with people you can speak to. The guys at the pub go camping, sing carols over Christmas, have dvd nights and Halloween parties...masquerade parties and so on and so on. Really nice guys too.

It is like going to Hawaii in Korea. Outside of that if you are here for along time there arre lots of places to visit that take only a weekend. Defintiely check out Seoul cause there are lots of things you can see there. Palaces, and museums and many other things. Went to Pusan a few weeks ago and saw many interesting things there. I am living in Chuing Ju and although it is a smaller town there seems to be lots to see here even because it is considered the center of all of Korea North and South.

When you were in South Korea, was the company paying unemployment in the states? -- I doubt it... but maybe they did. If the employer paid unemployment taxes on you, you are eligible to file for benefits -- i'm not sure if this would be accepted or not. If your employer didn't pay unemployment taxes, there is no way to receive benefits.
2 :
No, for two reasons: 1. If you voluntarily decide to leave your job, or if you are leaving your job because you voluntarily decided to move, then you cannot collect unemployment benefits. 2. If you have not worked in the U.S. in the last 18 months, then you cannot collect unemployment benefits.

No you cannot collect unemployment if you relocate from South Korea to California. You will need to work in the US, earn a certain amount of qualifying wages, and be laid off from your job through no fault of your own before you can become eligible for unemployment.

ive lived in korea as both a civilian (english teacher) and a serviceman (albeit my tours in korea were just a few wks/months at a time as a reservist). its good on u to attempt to pick up the language. if the rosetta stone thing doesn't work for u, there should be korean classes on post as well as meeting locals for language exchanges. american phones wont work w/ korean services. however,if u are into those iphones or other hi-tech gadgets, u can get those there and get connected. calling home, they've got international plans (dirt cheap), prepaid cards or u can use skype. oab is located in songtan. and right outside the front gate, there is a pretty big shopping district which the workers there pretty much all speak some sort of english. plus u can pay either USD or korean won. they've got a pretty good variety of foods for a small place. walk outside the shopping district past the rail rod tracks and above the overpass and about 5 min drive later, ur at the songtan bus terminal which can take u to seoul and other places. http://osanguide.com/ this site might be of some help as well.

Good questions! Unless your American phone is unlocked and has the same Sim card as the Korean ones, which I doubt, it won't. It's good to see that you are going to try to learn a little of the language before you get over there. Many American soldiers that come to Korea seem to not care about the language, culture or societal rules. I used Rosetta Stone, but you may also be able to get "Pimsleur Korean" the basic set from your local library just to get a foundation. Either way, both are good. In regards to your cool places or food, what might be cool for me isn't necessarily going to be cool for you so I think you should go to this site (see below). It'll give you language help, food and drinking, cultural rules and travel destination help. I also recommend you pick up a lonely planet travel book. They are the bible in foreign countries. Good luck!

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.

Besides becoming a resident of Canada, you also need to become a resident of a Canadian province or a territory. And to become a resident of a province, you need to stay in the province for 6 months. As far as I know, you can purchase a home or a car any time you want. You don't need to be a resident for this. But to get provincial health insurance you need to stay in the province for 6 months. And if you don't have a driver's licence, then you may have to wait 6 months to get one.

You need a degree to qualify for a work visa. You also need a job offer before you get there. The job would also require native level Korean. Jobs like that will always go to a native Korean. The employer has to sponsor the employee for a work visa.
3 :
What is your home country and native language? Some of your eligibility could well depend on your nationality. If you are able to get a work visa in Korea and if you will find an employer who will use you as a dance teacher there is probably no reason why you couldn't be one. You may find the opportunities a bit limited. Like most Asian countries, South Korea has a blended culture with both traditional and more modern elements. I would think it likely you could find some interest in European or other Western style ballet. You might also be interested in learning the various Asian dance types. I would suggest if you can that you visit South Korea, perhaps as part of a dance tour, and find out what the market is. Many Asians are very willing to embrace Western culture when it is offered to them. You might find an open door.

How do troop rotations to places like Japan, South Korea, Germany, Qatar, Kuwait work

How do troop rotations to places like Japan, South Korea, Germany, Qatar, Kuwait work?
It all depends on your MOS right? I know some people who join the Military and not long after AIT, gets thrown right into the wolves in Iraq, but some others are having a good time in Japan or South Korea for example....and some might not deploy overseas at all! I know this girl that has been in the Army for 6 years and has not deployed overseas once. Does every soldier get their chance to deploy to those places or some might only go to Japan/South Korea/Germany/Qatar and some others might only go to Iraq and back to Iraq repeatedly? Doesn't seem fair at all to me. I wouldn't call being deployed to places like Japan or South Korea or Qatar for example as a "vacation" but it certainly is compared to being in Iraq

OK places to korea, japan, qatar and kuwait...... its not really a rotation. its more like a permanent duty station. but just for a year or so maybe less maybe more. i dont know how more to explain it. Now iraq, it depend what unit ur with. it can be, or u get really lucky
2 :
1st, if you are trying to sham your way around the Army and avoid deploying, you chose the wrong branch and being a slacker will get you a label as a pogue regardless of MOS. Your buddies are sucking it up and you are worried about chilling and you haven't even earned the right to discuss this yet. 2nd, you can ask for these 'vacations spots' either with your recruiter or in AIT. Remember though I went to Germany twice and deployed 3 times from there. 2 x to Bosnia in the 90s. and Iraq in 2006. Troops deployed from Korea back in 2004 (a whole Bridage to Iraq). And best buddy is in Japan right now and they are sending individuals (like him) this February to Iraq from his I Corps job. So don't think you can hide out, be a REMF, and collect that pay check, do your 20 and brag about how you never deployed. Cause try that in an American Legion post or VFW bar and they will throw you out. Just being honest and helping you realize what I see and hear on the street. I personally don't care as so long as you do what you feel is honorable. Think of those 7 Army Values.
3 :
It does depend on the MOS and where the positions are located (Installation). Soldiers are reassigned by the needs of the Army at a particular installation. Not all Soldiers will spend a day overseas. It is possible. Deployments depend on the unit the Soldier is assigned to (FORSCOM units will deploy) and the MOS required in theater. Very rarely it is who you know. Ultimately, the Soldiers branch manager will requisition for a Soldier to report to a new duty station and the report date. Yes, some Soldiers do back to back tours in Iraq by virtue of their MOS.

Can I leave SK on one passport and enter Taiwan on another? That is my real question, I suppose.

I think it is OK. Because I know most of the Taiwanese Americans leave the US with US passport and enter Taiwan with Taiwanese passport. This way the Taiwanese American can stay in Taiwan longer than 2 weeks because using US passport they can only stay in Taiwan NO more than 2 weeks.

It shouldn't be a problem. A lot of people with dual-citizenship leave one country on one passport and enter another country on a different one. Sometimes immigration officers at the country you are entering will ask to see your other passport, but usually there are no issues. Or staff at the check-in counter (at South Korea) may ask to see which passport you will use to enter Taiwan if they don't see a Taiwan visa in your South Africa passport. I would double check with a travel agent just to make sure though. A quick phone call may save you a lot of trouble at the airport.

You can enter and leave Taiwan with your Irish passport. Taiwan immigration tolerates dual citizenship. The question is with S. Korea. You have to check whether S. Korean immigration permits your re-entry with your S. African passport without any entry/departure stamps of a foreign country.

Like Yellow and Dark Green Saturn said Taiwan does accept passports from dual nationality citizens, You can chose which country to enter Taiwan as a citizen of as long as your passport is valid. I think Korea also accepts dual citizen passports, so when entering Korea when you return you should declare that you visited Taiwan as an Irish citizen but your Korean work visa/student visa/marriage visa, is based on your S. African citizenship. The customs and immigration agents should be able to sort the rest of it out from there. As for JJohny's answer, I dont think he is clear on the length of stay Americans have in Taiwan. It is 30 days without a visa, and up to 180 days with a renewed tourist visa. Not 2 weeks. *edit* Pay No Attention to George's answer, it is inaccurate to say the least. He is a known troll with multiple proxy accounts, and only posts questions and answers to things that belittle Taiwan and dissuade people from visiting. The only thing that is plausible, is that they customs and immigration agents might ask why you are reentering Korea with out an entry/exit visa stamp for Taiwan. However, you most likely registered that you are a dual-national citizen when you apply for your Korean residency visa (I am not sure if they require this or not), if so they will not ask anymore questions than to see your Irish passport to prove you went to Taiwan.

That you do is take both passports as you said. You can leave on any passport as long as its valid. The South Korean boarder guards will stamp you as leaving the country, if they enquire about you not having a visa, tell them that you own an Irish passport and that your have duel nationality, and as a citizen of Ireland you can enter Taiwan visa free. For Taiwan, you enter and leave on the passport with the entry stamp, the Irish one, and enter South Korea using the one with the visa in it, boarder guards do not know what country you have flown from.

BAD IDEA. Persons carrying multiple passports (even if they are legitimate) always generate immediate suspicion with Customs officials. Furthermore, you may be denied re-entry into South Korea and lose your job. Do you want to risk all of that for the sake of avoiding a small visa fee? When Customs officials at your destination country can't locate a departure stamp related to your inbound travel, they will want answers. When you produce a second passport, they will take you into custody. Expect a thorough interrogation, full-body-search, intensive search of your belongings, and other indignities. You will have even worse problems when you try re-entering South Korea. They may even refuse you re-entry for violating visa rules. The problems could multiply fast and become quite large, so why risk it?

I am teaching in South Korea and want to buy an iPod touch 2g. Will it work with my American iTunes

I am teaching in South Korea and want to buy an iPod touch 2g. Will it work with my American iTunes?
Specifically I would like to know if there is any form of region locking on the device itself or is all region locking done through iTunes. If I can't download apps from my iTunes account it isn't worth it. Thanks in advance.
