Just an FYI, I already accepted my firm offer 2 weeks ago and was just offered a different tentative offer in a different country. I contacted HR and was told I get to choose which position I want.

RJ Japan, hands down. Yes, Korean cuisine is amazing and there are some pretty neat things to do in Seoul, however there are severe air pollution concerns and life isn't quite as orderly as it is in Japan. Also, you can easily find Korean cuisine in Japanese restaurants, yakiniku for instance. That's just my two cents.

Icanread The nice thing even about the teaching position is that as a single mom, you will be making a good wage, as well as having free housing and a cost of living allowance (enough for us to cover about half or more of our groceries). Good luck with your decision!!

haha Very interesting (and one reason I try to use words like generally, should/could and stay away from words like never, impossible, etc.). In this case, I do wonder if HR is allowing the choice (rather than it just happening in spite of HR) because one is a teaching a position and one is an admin position. In any case, good luck with your decision.
