Teachers Take Over Korea

Did you became a teacher to have the summers off and then realized your meager salary wasn’t enough to actually go on vacations more than 60 miles from your hometown? Well, look no further: now is your chance to visit Korea, spend 12 days there and have your only responsibility be sharing the good times you had when you get back. You need not know anything about Korea, nor speak the language.
