What is life like as an expat in your area?

"Living in Taean for a few months. I have found that it is like living in the country. We do have our little city and it does have events such as the Fall Festival and Christmas concert which they held. The traffic is not like Seoul or the other major cities. I have seen other foreigners but have not met them. Looking to do that. The neighbors have been friendly and the town councilmen have been around and introduced themselves. The city is active in making sure the people are taken care of. So far so good," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Korea.

"I am an expat wife and as such spend most evenings with our three children. It is rare for my husband to be home before 9pm so someone in a similar position to me has to be prepared to enjoy their own company and cope with all the homework too! By joining the above clubs and groups it's easy to develop a social network and be involved. We always have weekends together and try to visit somewhere different in Seoul. We enjoy our life here very much and even though I'm on my own a lot, I'm not lonely as such. By using prepaid calling cards, it's not expensive to ring Australia. We have cable TV and I enjoy reading so the nights are quickly occupied. For the men there is quite a lot more socialising after work than what we used to have at home, but that is part of the work ethic here. You set your own standards and guidelines," commented one expat who made the move to Seoul, Korea.
