Hello all perspective Korean teachers!
Recently Korea has made it mandatory that you pay for and submit a drug/HIV test upon your arrival in Korea. Not that I had to worry myself but a few teachers were a bit angry that the information came so late before they arrived. Obviously it is a new policy, apparently because of some dim-witted fool that allowed a habit to overwhelm his logic. Some teachers are a bit worried, as any and all positive result is immediate expulsion from the country.
I wish them all the best of luck.
Food for thought... don't make any trips through Jamaica or Amsterdam before you arrive here...
Best wishes...

It should also be noted for those who like the mary jane or other smokables or consumables etc that you can be stopped on the street, on the way in or out of a bar or even in your work place and tested. Often these tests only require 1 hair and they run a follicle test. Wikipedia tells us these are very accurate tests that can actually go back as far as 90 days. If you're a smoker you might consider the Sinead look for a bit. DOH! Read the wiki post and you'll find out that even bald you are screwed. Might be an idea to just not smoke... or get a lemon tree... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_test#Hair_drug_testing
