Speaking of child safety, it's THE one aspect of living in Korea that has been bothering me the most.
It's not just traffic safety, but also like so many kids suffering from some form of eczema because of sub-standard materials used in apt. buildings. Also pollutions. Also food manufacturers whose facilities are so very insanitary that it makes you sick. Also Korean brats with no manners.... What would my kids learn?
I just feel that Korea is just terrible for kids. How do you guys do it? Do you intend on staying in Korea for a while......, permanently? |

We don't live in apartments but yes... a friend of mine lived in this apartment and it had/has black mold and her younger son was very sick with pneumonia and rash etc... it's horrendous.
Well.. that's unavoidable. We have an air cleaner but there's only so much you can do.

This comes down to the parents. I was brought up to be prim and proper.. you betcha Letty will be the same.

| Are we staying? Hell NO! We have 7 months and counting before we flee this 'dirty old town.' |
