Interview and jobs woo?

How many bears can you spot in this photo?

So good news!  We have done some interviewing and actually achieved the long awaited procuring of jobs in our search for work in Korea.  The interviewing was actually really interesting, the language gap was very large in some cases, but in others it was really not a big deal.  Amanda seemed to have a harder time understanding some of the interviewers, but was also experiencing issues with my phone so I won't hold it against her (much).  The questions were pretty basic, like "Why do you want to teach in Korea?"  "Do you enjoy working with children?"  "Do you know the Muffin Man?"  We had in total about 5 different interviews, while I was very nervous for the first one it goes easier as we went along.

We ended up getting offered two of the jobs we interviewed for.  One in Daejeon which is one of the big places we originally wanted to end up, and Cheongju-Si which is the contract we decided to take.  The school is a kindergarten which fits into our age range, and we will be finishing classes at 7pm which would work better for me since I am an early bird.  We will post pictures and progress as they happen, our tentative leaving date is currently August 17th assuming all goes well with the visa process!  We're hoping to send out our documents tomorrow which will cost us a lot of moolah but it will be worth it in the long run!

Waiting sucks! Also trip to Pennsylvania

So Amanda and I went on a nice trip to Pennsylvania (my homeland) to visit my family and have my super special 27th birthday.  While the trip was fun it made me realize how much I miss PA, which I am sure will only get worse once we are in South Korea.  It has really made me at least start beginning to shape our plans  for once we get done with teaching in South Korea.  Perhaps we will begin to look for positions out on the east coast for when we get back.

That is one of the nicest things about the ESL Honeymoon, it gives us things to look forward to when we get back.  I am sure that we will be homesick when over there but luckily we will also be together which will make it easier to bear.  

                                                                  one of these things

As for the update on our positions we are still searching for the position which would be right for us.  We are currently going through a few agencies to find the positions which would fit us best.  Otherwise not much to report, but here are some more pictures of bears I got off of Google image search!

Look at these fabulous bastards

Thinkin' about honey and eating faces

You're not even a bear, why are you here?

Look at that rainbow, KABLAM

Anywho I will try to get around to updating more again, I just must stop being lazy.  Till next time!
