Overall Id give it an 8/10 as far as my experience here hgas been. Taking it all into account, its a great place to live.

And you? Rate your experience in Korea.

[just because]

For me...

Some days like yesterday an 11/10 where I had a great day.

But then again last week I felt like about a -5/10,

On average about a 7/10 but I think i just need to get away overseas for a little while.

I've gone through my share of stupid and annoying stuff (with work) but overall I give it a 9/10. By the way, my work is awesome now! can't say no to 20 teaching time a week.

7/10 overall

But...it can fluctuate wildly from that baseline, either up or down, from day to day.

I think Korea is a great place.

The problem with being here is that my nephews and nieces don't know who I am anymore.

Family Conversation...

Sister: Do you miss your uncle Jack?
Nephew: Who?

A tear rolls down my face.

My honeymoon phase lasted about 6 months and ranked 12/10. Then tapered off and finished the year at 10/10. My 2nd year was the hangover from the first year. Maybe 5/10. But that really had a lot less to do with Korea, than some relationship and business battles, that could happen anywhere. The third year has been around 7/10, so far, but occassionally dips to 5/10 or peaks to 9/10. The tail end of the 3rd year is angling to be back in the 9s and 10s, however. At least, that's what the forecast chart says.

8.5/10.

It's way the hell too NOISY, the bread is shit, and the women are infantile, but otherwise I love teh place.

[uberscheisse]

bad korea day? 4/10
most days? 8/10.

yeah, korea gets a mid-to-high B. if not for the pollution, it'd be an A-.

[katydid]

Good for you DW. Glad you're enjoying yourself.

For me...I'd say a 6 or 7 out of 10.

[edgellskiuk]

I would say I see life in Korea as average. Somedays great other days horrendous. The good days outweigh the bad days so 6 out of 10.

[nrvs]

Korea is a 7/10 for me most of the time. It's okay.

[Zyzyfer]

I'd love it here if not for 2 things:

#1-dirty
#2-hard to be anything other than a teacher without educational advancement (which generally requires overseas study)

If I felt like I was going somewhere with my life, instead of just paying back uni bills, I'd be set. Get a big apartment, big TV, big sofa, big bed, big window, and a big car. High roll it with disposable income. Unfortunately, that dream is a long way off, and living here tends to sap the motivation out of me.

bad day? -10/10
good day? -8/10

the only reason i stick around here is to maintain my "ask the playboy" forum.

[Homer]

8 out of 10.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

It's not Korea that I love it's being in Korea.
