South Korea is a beautigul place to live in. Their food is amazing here, all the people that I have met are so friendly and sincere. I personally didnt have any difficulty yo adjust myself to the culture. Though I was just a bit shocked by the price difference between SK and my home country Indonesia. You can check out my blog site to see a bit more about life here :-) epicuriousannie.com

Not hard if you can speak Korean. Most of them dont speak English. But if uou travel to a big city like Seoul you will find a lot of English speaking Koreans.

If you have a job in Korea, adjusting the culture will not be a big problem if you have foreign experience.  I think to get a decent job would be the hardest!  The easist and well paid job for foreigners is English teacher.  But I am not sure this rule applies to non-English speaking country origin.  But you can try!

Yes it does, infact one of my friends here is an English teacher and she comes from India.
As long as you are good at what you do, you can try and apply :-)
