BTW, my gigs were in the PDRK, I'm not sure what working conditions are like in the ROK, I suspect they are better though.

Well, I'm criticizing you and I spent 2 years teaching in Korea. Glad I'm out, but also glad that I stuck it out.

Sorry but I can't agree with you. Privates were nearly impossible to come by when I was there. I never lived in Seoul; maybe they're easier to come by there. No one ever approached me offering privates. I finally got a weekend gig my last few months there, but it was luck. I think that getting your first private is very difficult. But once you get that first one and rock it, others will come.
