I am in the midst of my week-long orientation here with fellow EPIK applicants/teachers. Many semi-interesting people from all manner of English-speaking country.
We're at the National Institute for International Education, only for orientation. We don't know yet where we will be placed permanently.

More to come later, once I move to my actual place.

Were there many, or even any, people from places that were still British colonies in the 20th century? I'm thinking of places like India, some eastern and western African countries, places like that. Also Singapore. Also any one of many Caribbean islands.
I'm generally curious about how much emphasis and attraction there is for English speakers from the Anglo-Saxon cultural sphere (for lack of a better term) compared to the larger global population of native English speakers.
Thanks.
Hmm, if there were any such people, I didn't meet or hear of any. For the most part, people were from the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, and South Africa. From what I remember from the application process, they are really only looking for people from those places.
I suppose that's what I expected. Thanks.
