| I left Korea 5 years ago and miss a few things. Top of the list is the sauna... late afternoon before a biz class, great to go in and sleep for 30 min and clean up. |

No plans to leave for the forseeable future, but I know what I WILL miss...Korean chicken hoffs, Korean pork/beef BBQ at the table, AndongJimDdalk, and Ddalkgalbi! Korean FOOD! Just not the same anywhere else IMHO.
I'll also miss any friends we'll inevitably have to leave behind.
What I WON'T miss is the absurdly high cost of housing! |

| I left two years ago & also really miss the sauna. I don't miss kimchi: its available in every corner store in Micronesia & I still eat it daily. Not much else to add to this list. |

Housing prices and air quality are the 2 big negatives of living in Korea. I wouldn't miss these. I can buy a nice little home in America for $100,000 in an area where the air quality is generally 55 or better.
I would miss nice the salary. |

I'll miss having everyone I know available on Kakaotalk. I won't miss people who send 10 messages back and forth but won't call.
I'll miss bank transfers as payments and sending money to others. I certainly won't miss the insane software downloads required for the bank transfers.
I will miss the taste of dwean-jang 된장. |

| I'm planning on leaving in March, and I already know that I'll miss the disposable income and very easy living lifestyle. Drinking with friends at the corner GS 25. Cheap public transportation. Easy travel to Japan. |

I will miss the slim but curvy chicks. Western wobbling chicks aren't my cup of green tea.
