Moving to South Korea with your family

Post new topic

Hello everybody,

When settling abroad with your spouse and children, the expatriation process requires an extensive preparation.

What are the considerations to take into account when moving to South Korea with your family? What challenges have you faced? How did your children adapt to their new environment?

What is your recipe for a successful family expatriation in South Korea?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience,

Nothing to worry for food, children can easily adapt the things better than elders, few elders may be not adapt but not children. especially my case my children's (9 & 7 yrs) daughters easily adapted the food as well as pleasant weather conditions. you can prepare the minimum 2 ~ 3 weeks yours comfortable food & then gradually you can adapt the Korean food especially sticky sweet rice Dal / tomato / sambar / plain curd etc.

You absolutely misconception ....Kids are up to certain age very close with mom..some of  the things may not disclose with father at all.
And single mom will have the enthusiasm to grown up her kids in very passion way..
She knows the for the kids whole & sole only mom...nothing to worry. ..for food ,leaving, hospitals  & especially security comparative with other countries.
