Anywhere on earth would be better than the place I just left, a miserable little cactus patch corner of southern Mexico.

It's been about 20 years since I left "home" a.k.a. Auckland, the last time I was there it was dirty and violent and I probably will be away from it for at least another 20 years.

So Seoul is just fine for me, at least so far.

Yes and No. Yes Belmont is so small that if you sneeze while driving through it, you might miss it Very Happy Very Happy and it's surrounded by farm land. But the City of London ON is only 12km away and is better than Incheon (more variety in just about everything).

Beer: Incheon Walmart has only 20 or 30 different kinds.
Belmont LCBO has over a 100 kinds Cool
