We love living here and that is why we asked other expats like us (lived and is currently living here) the reasons why they love South Korea.

BECAUSE IT'S SAFE HERE

BECAUSE IT'S SO BIZARRE THAT YOU NEVER GET BORED
By: Katrina, The Two Week Traveler
As an English teacher, no two days were the same, which was nice because right when you would get bored teaching a lesson, you'd be on to the next one and never look back. Outside of school, everyday you would encounter something interesting or weird. I got a pedicure where fish nibbled the dead skin on my feet; I had coffee at a cat café several times; I used to eat at a Chinese restaurant that had a pet monkey named Richard by the front door; I went to a children's amusement park that played LMFAO's "Shots" full blast on one of the rides-unedited! I often passed by a store that sold nothing but umbrellas, including umbrella hats for those who can't be bothered to hold their umbrella. You can go drinking and sing in private karaoke rooms with your friends, or for a more intimate night out, go to a DVD room and lounge around in your own private movie theater on a bed. I loved that you could sit down at a makgeolli (native beverage) restaurant and share a kettle of rice wine with old Korean men who you couldn't converse with but were glad to raise their glasses with you. Korea gives you the opportunity to experience so many unique and weird things that you would never find anywhere else!
