I've always thought of Korea as a potential long-term home from pretty much the start. It's important to view home as a cool vacation time in between contracts, where one can do all the things one cannot get up to in Korea - nefarious mischief in my case. Enjoy Korea, enjoy home! Besides, Korea has fun, addicting things, like the language. I've started, and I intend to finish my course, as it were.



Yeah, I'm already certain that there's no hope left for you back home.

Considering I'm an only child with a wealthy mother, my long-term future's pretty much set, matey.

When I went back the biggest culture shock was rediscovering how poor public transport was.....couldn't believe trains were leaving 20-40 minutes late on average and people thought of this as normal.

That and too many people use dial up internet.....takes about 10 minutes to send an email.
