Japan is brilliant. You have plenty of time to explore the places you really wanted to see and you and your friends have the best vacation of your lives.

You return to Korea feeling rested and ready to tackle the final months of your contract.

Work continues to go smoothly and a second foreign teacher is brought in to alleviate your workload. Enrolment at the school steadily climbs and a new director is also brought in. You are given the title of Head Foreign Teacher and continue with your strong influence on curriculum and class organization.

Outside of work, the band continues to grow in popularity and be in demand for festivals and clubs. Having another foreign teacher at your school frees you up a bit to go to these shows.

Soon enough, the year is over. Your school offers you a contract renewal with a significant raise and a move to better quarters. As well, they throw in some extra vacation days for you to use at your discretion.

It doesn't take long for you to make a decision. You may miss you friends and family at home, but things are going so stupendously here it would be silly to just leave right now. You sign the new contract and continue your implausibly spectacular adventure.
