There's 2000 from the same source. Why I couldn't find it at their archives search function is a mystery.

Whoever write that list must have been an ESL teacher here(maybe in Busan). Fukuoka is good but Number one. i think maybe he was just too weary from the battles here and Fukuoka looks like Paradise.
Also, Osaka is Number 2, another visa run destination Smile
