Hi and welcome on board Mindy!

What are your first impressions on South Korea?
What are you doing there?

I really like it here.  Everyone is really friendly, and if you can get past the spice then the flavor is really good too.  I absolutely love E Mart.  Free samples! 

I am currently volunteering at a school with English classes.  Once I get my visa (waiting on the background check) then I won't be volunteering anymore.  I'll be officially hired and happy :)  But in the mean time I really want to be a tourist and see some of the things Korea has to offer :)

Hi Mindy, I am leaving on Monday to go to South Korea for 3 weeks.  Husband is already there doing business.  We are planning on moving once we get our resident visas, probably at the beginning of the year.

Just don't know where we are going to live yet.  Might be Ulsan, Busan or Geoje Island -- Okpo.  Hopefully we will know when we are done with this trip.

My husband says he loves it there too.

I think this would be a great place to live.  You will probably like it here :)

Transportation seems easy for getting around.  I have a friend who owns a motorcycle, but before he had gotten it he traveled by bus and rail.  He says it is really easy :)  I have yet to fully experience this as I am a bit shy about going out on my own.  You will enjoy it though :D

JeJu is a bit far from here isn't it?  I'm not sure we would ever run into each other.
