It's a major seaport, and there's also a huge POSCO steel mill there. Technically I've visited Gwangyang while I was riding on a container ship, but I didn't get a chance to disembark and actually see what the city is like.

Yeah I came to Korea from Beijing... traveling by container was a cheaper option than flying, and it only took three days! Korean Air and Asiana are just so pricey! There was a lot of leg room in that 40' long steel box, too.

Yuck, Gwangyang!

Really nice expat community and green space can be found easily but I didn't like it and I felt really isolated.

What school is the offer for?
