^Compared to Thailand, it is freezing here. Although, the weather has not been too cold lately (3 degrees C).

Thanks for the tip. I have also heard good things about this recruiter. Here is the link:

There are some recruiters that will tell you anything, to get you over here. On the other hand, they may often have many jobs for you to choose from. Recruiters can help make the visa process go more smoothly. There are some recruiters that are not very helpful, and are not timely in replying to emails, etc. It is best to go with a recommended one.
I do think it is best to apply to the actual school that you want to work for. There are some public schools you can do this with, but most public school jobs, you have to apply through a recruiter.

But the Korean Won has declined over 40%, correct?
Savings have nearly been halved. Many instructors are planning to wait it out, hoping the Won returns to previous levels.

The won has seriously declined, since I first arrived here in 2006. Back then, the won was worth more than the Canadian dollar. Now it is worth less. I lose a lot if I send money back to Canada. It looks like the won may be back to somewhat normalcy come May.
