Thinking of returning to Korea after 5 years of being home. A few questions.

Do they do a physical these days upon arrival?

Has anyone left their kids behind for a year and survived emotionally?

How is it for women in their early thirties?

spliff's son?

but spliff seemed barely old enough to produce offspring; there's no way he's mature enough to have an adult child

stop thinking....take care of you kid / kids for god sake. why the hell would you want to leave you child behind, look for a job where you live, if you can't find one, move....but i'd advice you to make sure and pack your kinds before you go.

Thanks for the opinions and weird stuff. Nevermind. I've actually decided to wait until late June of next year so that he doesn't have to move to his dad's and change schools before the end of grade six.

Although I'll miss the cuddles and stuff, we've decided to video conference daily and to play DandD online etc. Also, he'll be a little older then.
