It’s been exactly a month since I touched down in South Korea. I thought I’d tell you a little about my average day. A Day in the Life of a Teacher Abroad. When you’re working in a hagwon, just like when you’re working in most places I guess, there is a routine to follow. It’s […]
Hello 2013 and Happy New Year to you all. 2012 was good to me. I graduated Aberystwyth University, got my degree and ended what were three truly fantastic years. The summer was also a highlight, kicking off with a trip with Aberystwyth Uni Canoe Club (AUCC) to the French Alps. It was an awesome way […]
Merry Christmas! Nearly three weeks here in Korea, it’s hard to believe. I’m happy to say it’s going really well, I’ve managed to avoid making a fool of myself and my boss hasn’t shouted at me, yet. Liam has left, we went for Korean BBQ on his last night with some Korean staff from the school. It […]
Post written on Wednesday 12th December. Annyeong Haseyo (Hello) from Korea! As much to my own surprise as anyone else’s I am writing this from my desk in the staffroom at the place I now call work. It’s my second day here, my fifth in Korea, and how very strange those days have been. If I […]
This is just a short post to say that the longer post is due soon but might take a few more days. I have arrived safely in Korea, unfortunately I managed to leave my jacket, hoodie and laptop with airport security at London Heathrow Airport. Very silly of me but I’m hopeful I’ll get them […]
Everything is coming to a head. Goodbye party was on Friday, had an awesome night with friends and family. Huge thank you to everyone who came and said goodbye. Managed not to drink too much and felt pretty good on Saturday. Sunday provided another chance to party. The Church, a daytime Sunday club was great […]
The last few weeks have been largely about going back to my university town of Aberystwyth, in fact in the last few weeks I have been twice. Whilst this has been great fun one drawback is the fact that I have to get to Wales and back by coach, and the travel hours add up, […]
Hello there. As I write this post I’m very excited to say that my signed contract, along with all the other documents required to get my visa sorted are currently airborne and jetting their way towards Korea, having left Paris at 1am this morning. Having finally received my Apostle certified documents, one of which I […]
I’m back and it’s my birthday. I’m now 22, which I hope I will remember as the age that I first said a fond farewell, well more of a see you later, to family, friends and England as I head off into the relative unknown. Since my last post there have been a few developments in my […]
Hello world indeed. This is the first and, terrible accident aside, definitely not my last post. Welcome fair reader to James Vs World, the personal travel blog of a teacher-traveller that is me, James Johnson. I am (very almost, in like 9 days) 22 years old and I am currently nearing the end stages of […]
