Hey everyone,

I am sorry to post this here as I am sure it has already been addressed (my search option doesn't work) but I was wondering on out of the following cities, which is a better experience to teach for a 23 year old male.

Seoul
Gangwon
Incheon
Daejeon
Gwanju
Gyeonggi-do

Thanks again

I find when teaching cities (or provinces) the class size is just too big. Wink

I doubt you'd want to teach the whole province of Kangwondo or Gyunggido.

As far I can remember: OP, you said your priority was teaching and not the life style. If that is still true than head for Provincial cities like Daejeon. Gwanju is a tiny hamlet in Chungbuk. I don't know why you'd want to go there.

It all depends on what you want...

Seoul - big city, lots to do, many foreigners, variety of foods and nightlife
Daejeon - smaller, easier to make friends, but has a small town feel so you will see the same people all the time.

Those are the only two I've lived in. I much prefer Seoul.

My friends live in Busan and worship it because of the beaches. The transportation there isn't quite as good though.
