Hey there
could I have a pretty good lifestyle on 300 pounds a month. This would include eating out everyday in standard joints. Also clubbing etc maybe twice a week?
Probably in Seoul or Busan |

Is your idea of fun getting drunk and acting stupid? Then, you're in luck.  |

| That will cover going to clubs a couple times a week over a month if you don't overdo it. Eating out and having Western food will run you a good sight more. I'd say double your figure if you want to live it up a bit, but not go too crazy. It's pretty easy to drop 100 quid a night in Seoul. |

There is no way you can have a "good lifestyle" on 300 pounds in Korea, especially when you are dining out and drinking! If you are always out and about, no way! Unless you eat as a mouse, and drink as a bird, and stay in twenty days a month. Like the other posting mentioned: Double the 300, then maybe you'll be okay, but living in Seoul can become costly in terms of hanging out every night. Triple it, you'll be in good hands...

I did it for my first month, my credit card didn't work over here so I had no choice but to live off the 350.00 that I came with.
I ate out every day; however, I don't really drink much and only have a few 'pigs ears' on a Saturday night.
You certainly wouldn't be able to go out all the time, but, you can definitely live of 300.00 if you live frugally. I'm not sure about Pusan or Seoul though as I live in a much smaller city. |

Then it should be less Than 600,000. Should be about 400,000 unless you're counting your bills. |

You can have cheap fun, if you know what I mean. Lots of cheap thrills available, right? You KNOW what I mean, don't you?
Of course I mean go to the movies on Friday night and Sunday. Good cheap hobby. |
