Just read about some foreign teachers who are getting into a lot of trouble over here! There are sexual harassment claims and drug use problems with English teachers. It looks like I am safe as far as the new visa rule since I am using the "loophole" by teaching as a tourist but its disappointing to see what other people are doing to ruin reputations it for the rest of us. I think it is smart of the government to do background checks because these people are teaching their children! In a place like Korea there really is no kidnapping or small crimes seen in the public and its sad that people from other countries are bringing it over! If I go to the bathroom I can leave my purse out. Children ride the subways home alone in the late evenings. Four and five year olds are seen walking around town alone! This is an amazingly safe and trusting culture and I hate that people are changing that!
On another note I read that Japan has started celebrating Halloween... still not in Korea though! This will be my first Halloween that I haven't dressed up! I did decorate the house with some decorations from my aunt Lisa but that will probably be the extent of my Halloween!!!!
