Re: Teach English in Hawaii (Jeju Island)

what a load of crap. if you sign a contract in jeju for a year be aware there is nothing mild about the winter- excepting relative to subarctic regions of canada. it still gets down to 10 below zero. this rubbish about it being like hawaii is a joke and only ever said by desperate recruiters. The subtropical labels come from a warm ocean current which brings certain fish around there, but does not affect the weather for humans.

english teachers on average get paid less than the mainland.

it rains 3 out of 5 days.

leaving jeju to see a band, buy clothes, meet some new people etc will cost you for air tickets.

it rains in the autumn, it rains and snows in the winter, it rains in the spring, it doesn't rain much in summmer- but the rainy season cuts off most of the summer.
