Here is a basic map of the Global Edu City (known as the GEC) - last updated July 2018.
New food stores, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. have come and gone in the GEC since the making of this map, but the things brought to your attention here are not going to go away any time soon. Use them as landmarks to navigate your way around your discovery of what's new in your new neighbourhood!

To get to KIS Village from here - coming along Global Edu-ro from BHA, past KIS and SJA, turn left at the roundabout (AKA take the third exit). Follow the road until it ends in a T-junction then turn right. KIS Village is about 1 min drive on the left.
FYI - The nearest big town to us is MOSEULPO (pronounced Moss-ull-po).
If you look at a map of Jeju, Moseulpo is in the South-West of the island. The GEC is slight North-East of this coastal town. It is a must go to place, as it has almost everything you might need.

HERE IS A MAP OF JEJU
https://jejutravelexpert.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/map-of-jeju-island.jpg
The GEC is not yet marked on most maps, but on the map linked above it is on the South-west side of the island, just slightly underneath and to the left of the red tag that says 'Jeju Glass Castle Museum'.
-----------------------------------------------
Another FYI - if you ever get lost ask a local person for "O'Sulloc" - this tea museum is very popular and well known. It is also 5 minutes away from the GEC. You can easily get home from there. The GEC is still not yet on the radar as such, but O'Sulloc is.
Yet another FYI - here are some useful addresses written in both English and Korean, for use with Taxi drivers for example. (BTW - there are THREE E-marts on Jeju, but the first two mentioned below are the ones you will go to most. :-) )

SOME VERY USEFUL FACEBOOK GROUPS TO JOIN
BHA FACULTY - FaceBook group for BHA faculty only. Used, for example, to post things that might be relevant to all staff, but you don't want to send an all-faculty e-mail to ;-) (FYI - the other schools probably have a their-school-staff-only-Facebook page too ;-) )
Jeju GEC Community - A Facebook page that is specifically about the GEC. Here you can find information that is specifically to do with our locale. You can ask questions, provide answers, buy and sell things, arrange a social gathering, ask for help, find a babysitter/nanny/home helper/pet sitter/etc... Very useful.
Jeju GEC Parents - A Facebook page for parents in the GEC ;-)

------------------------------------------
The GEC Schools' Ladies & Gents Cycle Club - This club does not have a dedicated Facebook page, but you can see their notices on the Jeju GEC Community Facebook page . I couldn't describe it any better than it has been described by one of its advertisers...
If you are more inclined to a gentle pootle around the rural byways of our lovely Island, the air fragrant with sub-tropical scents of the Gotjawal, the liquid call of Japanese bush warblers in your ears, and the promise of an ice cold beer and a good feed of some mouth watering Jeju fare at a half way pause RATHER than hurtling around the highways squeezed into lurid, sponsored spandex, hunched over your front wheel, swallowing wasps and exhaust fumes, and being brained by beetles, then this is the cycling club for you.
WHEN: Friday evenings
TIME: 5.15pm leave from walkway between Canons 1&2
DURATION: usually we are in the saddle for about an hour and a half in total and cover anything from 10 - 25 kms. However refreshment stops often take longer!!! Get a light for your bike!
EQUIPMENT: mountain or hybrid bike. As we ride predominately on the network of farm roads, road bikes are not suitable. Lights are useful. Money for refreshments and food might come in handy. If you tend to fall off a lot , Rob Evans' tip of always carrying sanitary pads and duck tape is a winner. Much more practical than these fiddly, little, millennial first aid kits.
CLOTHING: Time has moved on so (reluctantly) the ban on budgie smugglers is being relaxed. Discreet Lycra tolerated. As the nights draw in an extra layer advised. Helmets at your discretion.
FITNESS LEVEL: the GEC L&G cycle club is a social club not a training club. We ride together at the pace of the slowest person and if you cannot hold a conversation with the person next to you, you are going too fast. If this is going to frustrate you there are other cycling groups you can join up with.
CLUB AIMS - To: -
1. Enjoy the scenery
2. Enjoy the company
3. Learn to find your way around the myriad of routes around our location without having a heart attack, getting lost and vanishing for days or falling off.
Hope you consider joining!
Annual Subs: 0.00 KRW
