Wanting to move to UAE from Seoul, Korea

17 years ago
Hi everyone,

After nearly 3 years in South Korea I'm interested in moving to Dubai or elsewhere in the UAE.

I would like a comparision if anyone has taught English at a college or university in South Korea, and the UAE. What is the housing, salary, vacation, and class schedule like at the unis? (Mine here is $300USD/month stipend- not enough to cover rent and key money, approx. $2milUSD/month, 4 months paid, 4 days/week)

Social life is also a concern. I am a single, non-partying- but maybe the rare wine night, but fun loving late 20's woman.

Also, are there any running groups? (Hash House is for drinking, so no thanks to that!^^)

I really appreciate any advice or comparisons!

Thanks!
