¡Hola!

Please disregard that thread I started on moving to Ireland and all that... It turns out that in less than a month I'll be moving to Korea for a year (specifically Busan down in the south...)

So.. anyone here been? Anyone here living there right now? Some anecdotes and advice would be well appreciated... either about Korea or Busan...

¡Thank you!

Never been, but Language of Blood (site built parallel to memoir by Korean-born American adoptee) has a link to the English language edition of the Korean Herald.

I like kim chee. That's as close as I've gotten.

This guy I know went and joined a language school there. When he arrived he found a 10 foot blown up picture of his face on the side of the building as the resident white English speaker of the school.

He found it hard integrating at first, but after hooking up with some other western teachers in the district, he learnt to settle in and now does local things and can speak the lanuguage a little. It's been three years and he's very fit and healthy on account of all that good food.
