He's off to a nice, brief intro. Keep us posted on his entries for Korea Week.

I agree with his main points:

Quote:
South Korea is a frighteningly easy country to work in


Ahem..yes

Quote:
The openness and straightforwardness of the very varied people


Yes. "varied" is an arguable point though I suppose.

Quote:
The price to be paid for coffee and a snack in Seoul is quite utterly ludicrous.


Seoul is expensive. Its easy top forget this when you're earning and blowing good money though.



well done wangja, a sensible and good post, cultured and intelligent. Your interest in sophisticated journals reveals your literate, urbane and esssentially trustworthy nature. Wink

Short but good read. Freaked out a bit when I read how much he paid for the coffee and cake. Relieved when I saw it was at the Koreana.
