I am reading all these postings for teaching jobs in Korea and notice that the number of sick days allowed is rarely mentioned. Why is that? From what I heard, teachers often get sick soon after their arrival to Korea...sometimes very sick. Mentioning sick days when advertising the contract details would be a huge selling point for me. What happens when one exceeds their sick days and is still sick? So confusing.
I am a walking disaster when it comes to travelling. I always get a sick stomach and a cold almost instantly upon arrival in a foreign country. It's the good ol' Canadian cleanliness, I think. Plus, I grew up eating the typical "meat and potatoes" diet, without any spices except for salt and pepper.
