Hey guys, I just moved to Korea from the States, Oregon. I am in Ulsan, working for a private, stressing about the Won and adjusting to waygook life.

A few questions to start the insanity....Whats the best way to get to Seoul? Whats the best way to get to Japan, and if it is by ferry, how to I get ferry tickets? Finally, What is there to do in and around Ulsan, when is the soccer matches and who is in Ulsan?

Thanks!

Welcome to Korea! Ulsan is a pretty good city. It's the heart of Hyundai. I heard that it enjoys the highest salaries per housold in all of Korea. There is a Canadian bar that is not too shabby.

You can get an express bus up to Seoul. Buses go to Busan and there are ferries over to Japan. Have fun!

That Canadian Bar is called Benchwarmers. To us locals, it is simply Bench. I am here in Ulsan myself with my wife. If you want to grab a drink sometime....let me know. Getting to Seoul - airplane, bus, or train.
