August 19th
Now two blondes along with their little brunette buddy, were on our way. Our flight was from Toronto to LA to Taipei airport. Total travel time averaging to about 22 hours. While being in the air we managed to lose a whole day, arriving in Taiwan on the 21st.
We left Emily back at the airport to fend for herself, and we were swept away with our driver to take us to our school.
We got to Korrnell Academy around 7:30am and got an unnecessary tour of the school. Hungry, tired and sweaty we still had no place to live. Luckily, our supervisor Lee was able to help us with our living situation. Dorms? Apartment? Dorms? Apartment? The closest place to sleep and shower was the apartments. Decision made!
The first two days consisted of a lot of sleeping on our sectional couch. Jet lag is NOT a myth…it is very real, and very long. We had a place to shower and a place to sleep, 2 out of 3 of our problems were fixed. Point us to the food please!
Episode One
Hi, came across your blog when I did a search on google for Korrnell Academy. I'm trying to get a teaching job in Taiwan and Korrnell will be conducting a phone interview with me tomorrow. Can you tell me how it is working for them so far? The position I'm applying for is in Jhubei and I'll be teaching elementary/junior high (if I get the job). Any comments will be appreciated! My email is alee821@gmail.com

Did you decide to work there?
DeleteStay away. One of the worst schools in the area. Treats teachers like crap and they charge you 20% tax for the whole year even though the standard is 18%/6% after 6 months with a return of the 18.
