I mean, getting reimbursed for the flight over here and getting a settlement allowance that's included in a lot of contracts nowadays. <BR/><BR/>Make sure your schools know about these things and that they're supposed to be paying you these. <BR/><BR/>The rub is, they can't pay you cash and have to put it in your bank account. You can't get a bank account without your passport, and you won't have your passport back until you get your ARC. So it can take a few weeks to over a month (in my case) to get this money. Teachers coming here expecting to live off that money will find themselves out of luck. So make sure schools know about this compensation, and make sure the coteacher finds time ASAP to get a bank account set up.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07149708954524602455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357026555577605135.post-57254690992902100022009-03-03T18:18:00.000-08:002009-03-03T18:18:00.000-08:00Found you from herehttp://www.koreasparkle.com/200...Found you from here<BR/><BR/>http://www.koreasparkle.com/2009/03/kimchi-ice-cream-on-how-to-make-it-as-a-teacher-in-korea/<BR/><BR/>This whole series looks like it's going to help a lot of people.
