And with that, we found ourselves back in Seoul again. After a week-long visa run in Osaka, we were back in the working world, wearing ties and showering every day (sometimes, anyway). As of press time, we have been teaching at Yum Kwang Continuing Education Center, the after-school academy (hagwon) arm of the enormous Yum Kwang Christian School, for one month.
The job has been refreshingly laid-back: the hours are short, the lesson planning is minimal, and best of all, no one is expected to hang around out of politeness once the day is over. Our last classes finish at 6:55, and by 7:00, the lights are out and all of the teachers have already left to head home. Japan, this ain't.
So buckle in, blog fans, because for the next year, Rubber Side Down will be back in Expat Teacher Mode. Expect some factual tips for bike touring in Japan, flashbacks to some of our untold adventures in Missouri and California, and more expat living wackiness, including...
