thats right kiddies, free, in seoul korea. i teach english here, got a
pretty big apartment. can put up to 5 jugglers up comfortably, up to 10
uncomfortably. i already got one juggler over here, a guy from oregon,
theres a weekly juggling meeting in seoul every sunday (about an hour by
subway from my apartment), and if you want to make some money i can direct
you to some part-time or temporary english tutoring for fat cash. i'll
feed you for like a month before i start complaining. want more info,
just email me. ive been here almost a year so i can answer questions
about living conditions, culture, etc...

I totally respect you. Its really good that you offer this to people that
you have not met before. A samaritan at heart.

Ive considered this before, and its still on my mind, and perhaps when i
have time to do travelling again, i may consider this.

good luck,

Adam

ive posted this totally free offer a few times and gotten lots of
responses like this...

"in a year ill think about it," "maybe later" etc..

no offense, but i take all these responses as "that sounds cool, but im
too much of a pussy to jump on a plane tomorrow"

i design this offer to be as cheap as possible, effectively immediately,
so that theoretically, tomorrow you could buy a plane ticket for 4-500
dollars and a 47 dollar visa and i could pick you up from the airport on
the weekend, or make detailed directions (in english for you, as well as
korean for taxi/bus drivers etc.) to my apartment from the airport....

everyone should realize that even with the "suspected" nuclear testing in
north korea, the area is still very stable and operating as usual. also
realize that the nukes north korea are trying to build are NOT intended
for south korea. sorry to burst your bubble but those are for use on
american soil. no way would north korea nuke a city so close to its own
infrastructure.

when I came to korea i brought 37 pounds of personal effects including 25
pounds of juggling stuff. so all i brought was 12 pounds worth of clothes
and camera etc, and i still survived, i still have my kidneys, etc.

its entirely possible (and i would even go so far to say as encouraged) to
bring as little as possible with you when you travel. if you want to make
around 2 grand a month, plus a free apartment, i can show you how to get a
job teaching english, even if you have no degree, there are legal
loopholes to exploit so you can teach 100% legally. the demand is
ridiculous so if you are concerned about having money while you are here,
i can support you while you search for a school to work at ("work" is way
too harsh a phrase to describe my job, basically i play scrabble with them
half the time, juggle for kids, have them repeat phrases over and over and
the bosses are satisfied with that...). korean teachers handle all the
grammar, all the foreigner teachers do is provide a north american accent
for the kids to synthesize. (phonics, short phrases) point at the
picture of the apple. say "apple". the kids say "apple". repeat.

sound easy? its even easier than you imagine.

Mine's really more because i'm still in school, but this is my last year.
So i'll be on my gap year next year, and able to take your offer.

Im currently in a job working with photography, so i can only say "maybe
soon, it sounds cool".

I need to think about my future for the time being, sorry if there are
lots of "umms and arrs", but it is quite a life changing thing going off
for a year or two.

Good luck in your search,

Adam

I explained to you before that I'm still finishing school until then as
well I'm performing here in the summertime and then I'm off to anywhere.
My idea was to go to Korea at your place but from the sounds of it I'm a
pussy and not welcome.

That is harsh man.

I've got no respect for unwarranted disrespect.
