I would prefer to live in Seoul because I like to live in the city, and for me thats where I like to hang in my free time.

I live in work and Suwon. To be more specific, I live in Hwaseong-si which is just outside of Suwon proper. It is neither country or city. In fact it's a bit of a pain. No real night life to speak of and it doesn't have the peacefulness of the country. I am sure there are nice areas, I just don't know where they are.

I apologise for any spelling mistakes etc. I'm drunk (because I am bored in Suwon and I am trying to block out the noise of the railway, the Osan Airforce jets and the trucks on the main road.

It really depends on your age and how much money you want to save or spend. Suwon is good place if you want to save money. Seoul is better if you are young and want to blow your money on the nightlife. Korean girls are probably a little easier to get in seoul as well. They tend to speak english more there. You might also find more foreign friends in Seoul. Cool

Suwon has a red light district that caters towards foreigners, and is the cheapest, too - 30 - 50 000 won a pop. B-Row girls, though.

For everything else, Seoul is better. You can only find Papa John's in Seoul my friend; think that says it all hey?

Papa John's is in Suwon as well. What is a B-row girl? I though they only catered to Indonesians and Indians? Question

Wrench are you in Changwon? If yes, do you go out to O'briens or IP much?

I'm also in Chnagwon so was just wondering if I know you.
