Expat experience
weather, near the beach, laid back slower lifestyle, cheaper than Taipei, clean air, historic places
No nightlife (not that I mind too much),
Grad school at Uni of York
beautiful, close to Scotland, Leeds, great cheeses, pubs, historical, meets wonderful friends for life here
England is expensive and when the dollar dropped I was paying double
worked in Seoul to be close to my estranged brother
community saunas, palaces in Seoul, traditional medicine, kimche, mountains in the city, hiking before work
everyone is an alcoholic, bars everywhere, sex and porn in your face, people work hard and play very hard, don't ever piss off a Korean, especially a Korean lady
Family, grew up there. Left in middle school to Baltimore for a few years, returned, graduated high school and BA in CO. In between years of traveling abroad would come home for a month or two.
mountain lifestyle, very healthy, lots of health food, great yoga classes, the Rockies, everyone is very active, and crazy about their local sports teams. Denver has a small Vietnamese, Russian and Korean community along w/others, so you can find some great markets and restaurants.
people work hard and play hard, culture of binge drinkers, too many people from Texas moving there, changing the Mork culture
