ReplyDeleteHello. I work in South Korea as an English Teacher. It is a great experience. This is my second time teaching, through Allestra. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who is looking for an adventure. Children are wonderful. Food difference is amazing, and some historic sights are spectacular.
