There are Brits teaching English and engineers from Germany. I'd like to know who is into techno and world music to do an exchange. I'm not Western European, but I love your music. I wanna learn about tunes I might be missing out on. Europe is a hotbed of great music. Only way I know to meet other foreigners is in a bar unless you just happen to stumble elsewhere on someone that's willing to talk to you. I think this is why many are spending time messaging on this site, but I haven't seen any real discussions on European related topics outside of comparing different English accents and that Americans have a hard time gaining employment over there due to not holding an EU passport.

I`ve met quite a lot of few Europeans (non Brits also) as students studying in Seoul at the Universities. Also MANY Europeans (shipyard Engineers) down in Ulsan/Busan, Mokpo and Geoje Island.

A few facebook groups (if you have an account)

There's a decent-sized French community in Seorae. It's tricky to find, but worth the trip one weekend. I had one of my best foreign meals in Korea while there. It's also kind of neat to see French/Korean signs and French families strolling through the streets.

Actually Korea is like some Arab states where the foreigners all live in fenced off communities.

But Scotland doesn't count as a real country, just an extension of England. And England is just a state in London.
