Yeah, I'm a teacher.

Cost can vary.... Mine is 530,000 won a month which is like $430, but my school pays for it. It's a pretty small place though. The big expense is the key money payment (like a security deposit) which is around 1 million won or more ($809+). You get that back at the end of the contract (minus any damage costs). Utilities are SUPER cheap though.

Awesome! How long have you been teaching over there for? How good is your Korean ability?
How much does it cost per week for groceries? ($1 per apple cry )

6 months. My Korean ability is very low. I can read and I can understand/say some things, but I have a LONG way to go....

I don't really go grocery shopping. I buy fruits and vegetables to eat at home, but my kitchenette is just a single burner so it's very inconvenient and time-consuming for me to cook. It's just so cheap to eat out.
