 |
|
I have been to Busan several times, but now I am really considering moving there. I would like to hear from some well seasoned teachers out there who have lived in Seoul and Busan. Which do you prefer and why???
No offense to Korea newbies. I just want to hear from people with 3+ years of experience in Korea. |

I lived in Seoul for two years and Busan for six.
Seoul's air can get brown often, whereas Busan's worst--barring yellow dust--is usually a dark gray.
Busan has a sea-breeze in the summer whereas Seoul feels like a pressure cooker, and Busan has mild winters.
Traffic is worse in Busan with very crowded roads.
I like Seoul's big city feel, but Busan has become tolerably homey to me.
Plus, in Busan for the same amount of money you'll be able to live in a larger and cleaner apartment than if you were in Seoul. |

| The haeundea beach area almost has an international feel about the place. It's a cool area anytime of the year! |
