If it be nightlife you crave, ladies and things to do, seriously dimiss the tittering above and head to Ilsan. Plenty of expats, educated Koreans who speak english, close to the Incheon islands and beaches for the summer, 2 KTX services a day from Haengshin, hiking at nearby Bukhansan, easy travel to the nightlife hotspots of Sincheon and Hongdae. And, unlike Bundang, every bugger doesn't go to bed when the sun goes down.

Both are great. In Bundang you have Sparkles, reason enough to move across the world really, but in Ilsan you have, well, a nice place that some piece of news not long ago said something nice about.

Beware, both are rich. Sometimes that is not good, especially if you have to teach spoiled kids or expert complainer parents.

Bundang, by an Irish mile ladies. Twenty minutes from Seoul by bus, if you ever need to go there,( well perhaps you will go once) clean air, good variety of eating houses, Yuldong Park which is magnificent, an hour from the Upper Han river where you can water-ski etc. in the Summer, has the highest proportion of English speakers per capita in Korea, lots and lots of English teachers, and we all hang out at The Dublin Irish bar to drink pints and complain about our kids, what could be better than that for six months?

I'm still trying to figure out where he found a six month job at. If I could snag one of those, I'd go to Ilsan or Bundang - it wouldn't matter to me!
