Lights, Camera, Action!

So Alex and I have been going through the Visa process; let me tell you all it's a tedious process. Passports, official transcripts, background check, and so on. More often than not, people have to be interviewed by the Korean Consulate in order to receive a Visa to work in Korea. So Alex was kind enough to contact the Korean Consulate in Seattle for us. You'll have to read Alex's blog and read her story about calling the Korean Consulate. Seeing that our distance is a bit of a problem, the Korean Consulate is willing to make an exception for us. We have to send in a 10 minute video introducing ourselves, explaining our experience, and why we want to go to Korea. All in all, I'm thinking my first YouTube video will be my interview...Wish us luck!

My first Blog!


I don't have the internet so it is hard updating my blog. I'll do my best to update is once I move to Korea, though. So far on my journey to Korea goes, this is what has happened: Alex and I applied on the Teach ESL Korea website on May 5, 2009. About a month later we got a chance to interview for the St. Louis Academy in Daegu (Taegu), South Korea. Barry the director was impressed with our interview so Alex and I got the jobs! Just this last week we signed our contracts and applied for our passports :) Right now we are working on our E2 Visa process...That's that. Bye for now.

Here is a link to the website we went through:
