|
Seeing as I may take a non-epik route to korea and thus have a choice, which city do you think would suit me best
Things I Want in a City:
~ Other expats in my age group (mid-twenties) so I could make friends since I'm coming over alone. A friendly-esq city
~Some nightlife, as I'll want to go out occasionally - likely mostly on the weekends - but I am not likely to go out drinking every night. And also other things 'to do' besides just drinking (a movie theatre nearby would be divine, for instance). - as I'm not a big drinker
~Relatively affordable, convenient restaurants nearby (Korean food is just fine) so that I don't always have to cook.
~Good markets nearby
**Plusses but NOT a big deal; I would love a good subway system - but it's not a MUST. Good shopping (clothes) would be a plus, but I suppose I could make trips for that. Warmer weather would also be a plus!!!...extreme cold doesn't really do it for me! |

| Seoul or Busan, but I prefer Seoul because there's more to do outside of go to the beach, hike or drink... |
