Thanks pb!

Yeah, I've heard that the orientation week can be a bit superfluous in parts. Still, at least we get paid for it unlike EPIK. I does seem faintly ridiculous that you're not assigned a school or know where your apartment is until the end of orientation. Do you what the, ahem, thinking is behind this? I'm going with an open mind, but it was the main thing that made me think twice about going with SMOE (but then, better holidays and the guarantee of getting paid on time kind of swung it for me as a newbie in Korea).
