  1. Hi, I am a Korean living in India. One of my friends is working for HR company in Korea, and they are looking for a Linux developer with 3~5 years of experience. The developer will live in Korea during the contract period, and the company will pay flight tickets, one-room apartment, with decent salary. There are not as many Indian developers in Korea as in the U.S, but they say it’s fun and wish to live longer. If you are interested in this chance, please, send your CV to unclemin@hotmail.com with contact info. Because they are urgently looking for the proper developer, this chance will be closed very soon. If you want to know more details, your queries to my mail will be welcome. – Chris
