Can someone please give me some suggestions. I live in Incheon, which is an hour from Seoul by subway. Not a bad place but I don't speak Korean and their is only the other two foreign teachers to socialize with.

I just need ways to meet new people. I am trying out this tour company called Adventure Korea, www.adventurekorea.com. Can anyone else reccommend similar companies. It's to the point where I don't care if I have to go out by myself, I just want to meet some new people.

Go to the Goose Goose in Bupyeong. You'll find more than enough English teachers. From Starbucks go around the corner and walk down the road until you see The Body Shop on the other side. Turn down that side street and take the next right. The Goose is on the right hand side and has a new, white sign.

What do you LIKE to do? Tell us this and someone will no doubt PM you (or post here) and invite you to their group. Kinda an odd statement, I suppose but it works.

Other ideas:

Take a Korean class. The classes are full of foreigners, many in the same boat you are. Side benefit: You can then talk to Koreans...48 million of them.

Take another kind of class...an art class of some kind or cooking.

Go to a gym regularly and make friends with the other customers.

If you are religious, go to a church.

Go to a university and ask about English clubs on campus. Most of them would love to have a native speaker member.

Stand around on a street corner looking lonely and pathetic.
