I left Korea in 2003 after living and working single for 21 months. Now, I'm returning with my wife and daughter (2 years old) in October of this year.
For those who know, what are the big changes you've noticed in the last 5 years?

now instead of saying "it's because you're a foreigner" we hear
"it's to protect our children from sexual perverts and drug users"

More products available...
Waxing strips, deoderant, listerine, dill pickles, various cheeses
(I mean "readily available"... you could probably find the above things at import stores, but now they're available at regular stores) |

Remember that old adage, 'the more things change, the more they stay the same.'
Come, you will enjoy it. |

Funny. In my very limited time here I have already realized that indeed, this is the stereotype I have been labeled with. |
