What is there to do in Yeonggwang?

ESL TEACHERS: There's no way to spin this topic. Yeonggwang doesn't offer much in terms on entertainment. Teaching English leaves you with a lot of free time. OK, I guess that's relative. If you just graduated from college 9 AM - 5 PM might seem like a long day but most teachers agree that we have a lot of hours to fill outside of work.

Within Yeonggwang my two main hobbies are hiking and drinking beer. I also watch a lot of American TV online. Yeonggwang has a few bars (including a WaBar) and it has a bowling alley, but that's about it.

I've probably average three weekend trips to Gwangju a month. Downtown Gwangju have several movie theaters that show movies in English. Gwangju also has a baseball team and tickets are fairly inexpensive. But, it's 50-60 minutes each way to get there so it's not easy to do on a school night.
