Wanna go to Korea?
August 25, 2005

I got a call from a computer school in Korea town at the end of August asking if I wanted to go to South Korea for 5 months to teach an A+/Net+ class.  That's hardware, software, networking troubleshooting & repair for you non-nerds.  They had my resume on file from a year or so ago when I first moved to LA looking for part time teaching work.

Within a few days I had met with Tia from Learnet Academy and said yes.  It was an opportunity I couldn't pass up.  Experiencing a whole new culture with a free apartment and good pay was a chance of a lifetime.

The only part that sucked was leaving my really sweet teaching job temporarily and missing out on 5 months of acting in LA.  I figured LA wasn't going anywhere and the place I work (DDLA) is super cool and said there'd be a job waiting for me when I get back.

I was selected for this gig because of my teaching experience, certification, and military background.  The classes will be held at Yeungnam College of Science & Technology for Americans stationed at local military bases.

Let the adventure in Daegu, South Korea begin!
