Thinking
Am seriously considering going back to Korea for work again. But this time, I don't want to work in a public school in Korea - not after my previous experience.
Am considering being in Seoul or Busan, but am thinking more about Busan - Have visited there heaps of times, and have some good friends there. Busan is only 3 hours from Seoul (by taking KTX). Plus, beach access all year round.

Update!
It's been a long time since I wrote here.
I'm back in Australia, and have been here since March 6. I landed in Adelaide at about 7am Adelaide time, got through customs okay, and continued to stay awake for that whole day - the plan being so that it doesn't mess with my sleeping pattern.
It made me tired for the whole week. I visited the old school I worked at for 6 months last year, letting them know I'd be available for substitute work, and got 2 days work last week. That made me even more tired.
Out of the past 4.5 years, I've been out of Australia for 3.5 of those years. If I plan on staying in Australia, I need to re-adjust and deal with stuff. I'm not expecting me to adjust within a week as well. Looking at teaching jobs, and having to write an application, and making a 10 page document that says "what I need to catch up on, is what you want, and it's on my reading/to-do list" doesn't really cut it.
The 24 year old car is going to cost too much to get back on the road. If I gotta buy a new car, I thought, why not get a motorcycle instead? Downloaded what I need to take the written test (which I'll do soon), and then when I've saved up enough cash, will get a bike, and safety gear I need for riding.
It's strange not seeing/hearing Korean all the time, and the lack of Koreans around will take a bit of getting used to. Gimchi withdrawal is not good either :p

Re-adjustment is great, eh? :p
