I'm moving there. What can anyone tell me about it?

Beautiful countryside around there. Buy a motorbike or scooter and ride around Dolsan-do (the island over the famous bridge). Go to Mosageum beach in the summer, it's much nicer than the famous black sand beach and not so busy. Good raw fish if you're into that too.

Some of the young foreigners in town are idiots in my opinion. They go to the bars downtown and upset the owners and thus get all foreigners banned. (I believe foreigners are now banned from at least two bars because of the idiotic antics of a few). And if you're one of those idiots please learn 2 things: (1) Learn about anju and understand that you have to buy it in some places. (2) Understand that in most Korean bars you are required to have a seat, you can't just stand around like in the west. This goes for nightclubs too (outside of the western style ones in big cities).

The E-Mart is just across from the bus station.
If you go towards city hall and into the downtown area, you'll find Dunkin donuts and Baskin Robbins and Dominos and Miller Time all on the same block and street.

If you're around thru 2012 you might be able to see the World's Expo and the KTX extending there.

Yeosu is quite nice.

I've been there a few times, the last time was March 1st of last year. It was 18 C and sunny.

Indeed, get a scooter or a small car and zip around.

Thanks to everyone for the information!. Sounds like I made a good decision.

And Hyeon Een, I doubt I'm one of those idiots, as you put it...I'm 62. The bar scene is some where in my (fondly remembered) past.
