I'm looking for a smallish town or city in south korea. Any information would be helpful.

I do not like seoul very much, it's not for me. It's just too crowded.

Anyone know of a place that's not crowded but still has modern facilities? no boondocks, just a quaint town.

I've been to pusan and it's still too large and crowded for me.

I came here trying to get in touch with "culture." There is no sense of culture in a big city like Seoul, except the culture of, well, a city.

I want to go to a place where people actually speak to eachother and say hello when they pass by you on the street and you can easily get to know the people around where you live. In a large city, it is very impersonal and I am looking to feel more at home.

Does a place like this exist?

What do you mean by "modern facilities?"

I think I'm living exactly where you described...pm me.

I'm sorry but I can't send private messages.

By modern facilities, I mean modern sanitation facilities and not outhouses in the countryside.

I don't want to live in an area that is too remote but kind of. I want to go to a place that's peaceful not hectic like seoul or the major cities.

But then, other cities may be very different. I didn't notice much difference between busan and seoul except for the larger demographic population between the two, for example.

Maybe Ansan? Its kinda near seoul but not quite as big. You can try some places in Gyeongi province.

Yeosu, Sockcho, Donghae, Jinju are all quite nice. If you want bigger Gwangju is perhaps the nicest of the big cities.

Our town (Changnyeong) seems to fit your description pretty well, but I don't think there are any openings at the moment as we seem to be fully maxed out FT wise.

However, should you find a position, just remember to bring a book. Preferably a heavy one.

If anyone lives in Gwangju, please tell me about it in comparison to seoul.

Much appreciated and thanks in advance.

I think seoul is like detroit minus the crime and a little on the dirty side, it's not a pretty city in my opinion, just really busy, and looks busy and crowded.

Does it feel 'human' in gangju? because seoul feels like a real metro, soulless place.
