Seoul WHAT?!

I know what you're thinking...I though they were going to Prague...what the heck happened?!  Well, a few things...we booked our flights...then I started to freak out about everything.  For the longest time I was overly confident about finding a job, apartment, etc.  Then, one night last week I tried to fall asleep and I started to freak out about everything.  You see, I still have quite a bit of debt that is always looming over me...and making $800/month, not knowing how much rent will be, or how much flights will be when we come home all started to make me worry!  So I wrote Alexandra an email with all of my concerns and she proposed we go to Seoul.  

For the longest time I was anti-going to Asia.  Partly because I want to live in Europe, travel around Europe and just mix in.  Alexandra sent me a posting that showed that Seoul pays for almost everything, flights both ways, a studio apartment, $2000/month with really low taxes.  So I did what I always do, I made a pro-con list for Prague and Seoul and Seoul won!  We're still going to do a bunch of traveling....just to all of the Asian countries (Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, etc.)  

There are a couple of issues with the change... 1. We've already purchased our flights to Prague on www.cheapoair.com, and they are non-refundable flights.  So if anyone knows how I may be able to talk them into giving us our money back or giving us a credit, that would be awesome.  I've already called them, and they told me something like it would be a $350 change fee and our flights were only $400 so it wouldn't be worth it.  2.  We have no idea when we're leaving now.  It takes a while to obtain a work visa in Korea...and I still have to finish my cover letter!  

On a side note, I've been put in touch with people who have lived in Seoul and people who are still there teaching!  So I have a couple "ins" if you will!  Thank you Brad and Annie!
