Okay, so I'm flying from New York at 6:55pm (EST) on December 30th, and arriving in Seoul at 5:45am (Korea Time) on January 1st. Presumably westward. I've been trying to wrap my head around when exactly I'll see the New Year, but I can't do it. [more inside]

I'm told I'm a shoo-in for an ESL job in South Korea. When I graduate with a BA in English next May, I could move down to South Korea and teach English for a year. Known pros are the mobile tech, friendly people, and first chance to see a radically different culture. The pay's supposed to be good ($3k a month) and the program sets my housing up. So what could the cons be? And am I missing any pros? I'd especially appreciate advice from former SK residents.
