Ignore Nolos aka Dan from Ohio. Hes a miserable ESL lifer with ajumma wife, who threatens him with divorce because he doesnt spend any time with his family in between his internet trolling.

Well he definitely sounds miserable.

Yes it is indeed sad. Dan trolls another board called Anger Sports where he claims he's a top secret agent for the US military, works at the embassy, briefs Obama once a week, and makes 250k. I am not making this up. Dan's latest antics, trying to make a US government document on Microsoft Paint to make it look like he's a "BIG DOG" in his words, only to get laughed at everyone. What an idiot.

If you were gone for 6 or 7 years or even 10 years or longer, we'd be more likely to inform you of the changes. But being gone for a year or two doesn't really qualify. I doubt much has changed in such a short time. People in Korea have gotten a bit friendlier and a bit less xenophobic. Though it still ebbs it's ugly head every now and then. Overall, welcome back.

I did a similar thing myself. My advice, which I strongly recommend following, is to have a plan in hand before going back to Korea. I took the GRE, applied for schools etc. before leaving the States. I boarded the flight with all my ducks in a row and it made my return to Korea much better. I knew what I was going back to, I just didnt know exactly where it would be. I honestly felt a bit silly coming back and showing my face and getting the 'you're back' glance. Sure it was great to see friends again but it helped my self steem a lot knowing that I had my applications set, just waiting on responses.

Just my 2 cents.
