 |
|
Moving to Korea and I saw the suggestion on another thread for a poll.
Where's the best place to live? You know, the Korean Eden 
I know it varies depending on what each person wants most, but I would like to see what the general consensus has to say. |

| Threads/polls like this are really of no value. Everyone is going to say that where they live is the best, and guess where the most people live? |

Obligatory:

Think twice before you live outside of Seoul. "In Seoul" and
"outside of Seoul" are like two different countries. Seoul
is an interesting place with variety and venues for most
tastes. Outside of Seoul you will find a homogeneous Korean
culture. I don't mean this in a bad way, but you will never
find things like: French, Greek, Indian or any other ethnic
foods. Markets that sell sherry, pate, pastrami, ricotta cheese.
Specialty shops that sell cuban cigars, European pies, cold
cuts or rye breads. Just to name a few things.
The FFF RULE: FFF=Fun For Foreigners.
If FFF in Seoul = 100, then FFF decreases at
1/distance. So 2km from Seoul FFF=1/2(100)=50;
10km from Seoul FFF=1/10(100)=10. This rule is
a rule for nightlife, food and foreign products only.
Nature etc. is on a different scale altogether.
This means you will be wasting a lot of time commuting
to Seoul. This is especially a drag if you have been
boozing on a Friday night and there are no buses or
trains. |
Busan has developed since Cohiba made his rule. It may have beaches, but still doesn't equal the globalization of Seoul. |

There's a limit to the number of options allowed in the poll. I tried to add a lot more, but it wouldn't let me. If there's somewhere you think that should be on the poll in Suwon's place, please let me know. |

Bundang or Ilsan, if you're going to go with something in Gyeonggi. |
