Major brain fart. I can't believe I didn't mention my discovery today. Well...its not really a discovery. More like I found something really helpful to me that had been there all along. Lately I've been pretty concerned with my social network, or lack thereof that I would have when I arrive in Yeosu. I was on a message board about Yeosu expat networks when I saw a posting about the Yeosu Wayguk facebook group. Facebook??? Carrie did mention that I could find other native teachers using the book.
My first 3 seconds on the group were a flood of information. There were postings on just about every topic I was wondering about. What to pack, where to hang out, what to do, health insurance, vacation time...the list goes on and on. What I liked the most was one post that a soon to be expat started. She said how she was coming in August and just wanted to say hi to everyone. The other expats seemed so welcoming and interested in helping this girl even before she arrived. I found a lot of comfort in knowing that the Yeosu expat community was easy to find and easy to break into.
