Very interesting future here.

The Korean public school teachers will be crying out for foreigners, privately, in institutions and in the public schools themselves, but they'll be long gone because of a pot possession on their record or just because they couldn't be bothered to get the background check done.

hmmmmmmm
I don't know about that. From what I've heard here in the public school system (only hearsay at this point), Koreans want to phase out foreigners and have Korean teachers become the sole English teacher. I heard this from a few reliable sources, but nothing is set in stone. I heard this may happen by 2009. I can't really see it happening though. Should be interesting to see what happens. I am leaving so I can't be bothered, although if I decide to come back, I'll have to go through all this new stuff.
