| What's Ansan like? Does it have a genuine urban feel? Or is it just kind of on the large side of mid-sized (i.e. no real character)? |

Hi there, I've just moved to Ansan myself. It is a more middle-class city than the Bundang part of Seongnam-si where I used to live. A bit grittier, not quite as tony......at least that's my take on three weeks living here. |

| I would say it is more working class than anything else. It has it's charms but it isn't the be and end all. |

very working class. One of largest concentrations of factories in all of Korea.
but good ethnic restaurants (SE Asian) around Ansan station and the area around new town/city center isn't bad. |

I liked Ansan, with the exception of my coteacher from Hell... now the hot but mouthy science teacher I could handle...
anyway, Ansan has a few good bars and lurhibang joints... decent movie theaters too.... just make sure youre near one of the subway stations... |

a temp young male K coteach last year told me that they say "the water is very good in Ansan", which supposedly is a Korean metaphor for the girls being hot. (water's good)
I don't know personally but the area around Jungang station looks happening. That's where I'd like to live. |
