Previous to coming over here, I was told that there was some“propaganda” being spread about my arrival at the school. This was because I was actually a “real teacher” and had experience teaching English to Koreans and had classroom experience. To put it in perspective, they described the previous teacher as a “log”. But I nearly “shite” myself when I saw my picture and resume (in Korean, of course) as big as life on a banner in front of the school. And yes, it really is as big as it looks. I’m sure it was an even stranger sight to see me taking a picture of a banner that had my face on it.

But oh-so-effective!! It makes me wanna pay so that you could teach me proper English!
This made me chuckle. Like you, I was a "proper" teacher back the U.S. before coming to Korea. And I was greeted, as well, with a GARGANTUAN banner right outside my school. I've been here since mid-June of this year, and the banner only came down last week! Good publicity for the school... and celebrity status around town for you ;)
Cheers on starting your Korea experience, hope you enjoy teaching here as much as I do!
