Hello again!Thanks for all of your help and for sending me that link about CDI training on your blog. It was great. You must be extremely patient and nice because a million people have asked you the exact same questionsa million times!And, of course, I have 2 more tiny questions!Do you know of anyone, who has brought their child with them?And do you have a 1 bedroom or studio? I would definitely want a 1 bedroom with my kid!Anyway, thanks again! Hopefully we can meet when I arrive. I am planning on attending the Aug. 13th training.bye

You must be extremely patient and nice because a million people have asked you the exact same questions million times! we all start at the beginning of something at times, and have a lot of "nobody told me" moments.

Do you know of anyone, who has brought their child with them?no, i dont, sorry. have you ask the recruiter about it? where she'd go to school? who can watch after her while youre working (it'll be 4pm-10pm for sure)? and finding some kid/family activities to help her deal with the move. there are parents on eslcafe, i dont know any offhand, maybe do a search for forums asking about children-related things. for esl, best to do a advanced google search, do you know how to do this? if not, i'll explain.

do you have a 1 bedroom or studio?here in korea, "one bedroom" means a studio. "two bedroom" is one bedroom and the living room. i live in an officetel. check out more info on wikigalbi. oh, maybe search wikigalbi for info for parents there too.

I would definitely want a 1 bedroom with my kid!maybe ask for a "two bedroom" to make sure. talk to the recruiter, and make it clear that this is what you need.

Anyway, thanks again! Hopefully we can meet when I arrive. I am planning on attending the Aug. 13th training.i'll be here :)

a google group for moms with babies and toddlers. Maybe they can connect people to others with older kids?
