In response to Male Hormone Thread - Teachers Discussion (Virginia Slim)

From what I'm hearing from a new colleague, this is the source of TESOL ills in South Korea. And this guy should know. He spent 16 years teaching in South Korea. After hearing his tales, I'm not so sure I want to go there again. Not now. Not ever. No one in Asia is as ruthless, business-wise, as the SK guys.

My colleague and I are reading some of these posts from folks about the prices in South Korea and laughing our ##### off. He won't post any replies, as he believes it's not worth the trouble. But we both know--South Korea is one of the most expensive places in Asia to live, and anyone going there will soon discover this. These folks really need to be aware that budgeting is important in SK. There'll be no cheap necessities waiting on you when you fly to Incheon or Gimhae.
