Teaching English Abroad

[HisMajestyBOB]

Tim, in the event that war suddenly breaks out between the Koreas while you're there, what are you supposed to do?  Are there plans to evacuate you and all the other foreign teachers, or what?

Run around in circles screaming.

HMBOB is much closer to the border than I.

I could climb Gyeyang mountain near my house and watch the fireworks across the Han River, and in Seoul in the distance.

At least until the hilltop and the military installation up there got flattened.

My work computer has crashed 4 times today.

Viruses.
Back up anything important, because there's a reformat coming.

What the hell, I usually dress pretty nice to school. Nice pants with a sweater or dress shirt and all that jazz. So why does every time they have some kind of public function here when I need to have my picture taken or I'm up in front of the parents I'm dressed like a bum? Would a little advanced warning kill these guys?

[HisMajestyBOB]

Because you are a bum?

You can get away with anything because you are a foreigner

[DisturbedPervert]

I'm sure those pictures will come back to haunt you

Highly unlikely.

No suits? bah. Senseis need to be dark suited and dress shod

The dress code here isn't that strict for the teachers, which is why when I came in yesterday and noticed everyone dressed up I knew I hadn't been informed about something.

A girl meant to write "no tests" today, but she wrote "no testes"

[Josquius]

Same thing surely? :p

See, this is why people think you like beef.

I missed this.
Like beef? Eh? That some new fangled term for being queer?

True enough.
I read one piece about the Jet programme on about various people they've had in the past; one was a NZ Maori with full tribal tatoos all over himself and he was passed as all OK.

Yes but it isn't new.

[Josquius]

Ah.
Well I was of course meaning same thing in as in 'screw your students'. Not boys and girls the same.

[Eddie Teach]

It was a play on something you said in another thread around the same time, don't recall what it was.
