Why did you decide to go to Korea as an English teacher?

Dude - what if someone just came to Korea to live and work? I mean, living as an expat in a country A or country B - what's the difference?

For example, people do not go to USA as expats for girls or money or something like that - they just go there and live there.

Your choices are very limited and stereotypical.

Because Korea is a beautiful country. One of the most beautiful I've been to. Just because it didn't work out for me doesn't mean I'm gonna hate the place. I might joke around once in a while but I enjoyed my time there so I'm here posting. Very Happy
