Korean Job Discussion Forums

[The Badassassino Family]

As I go through the process of looking for a teaching job in Korea, I find location choice to be an intimidating colossus. Anyone have any stellar recommendations? What's to love and hate about the city you live in? Cost of living? Culture? Public transport? Too crowded? Too quiet? etc etc. I know this is a pretty broad question, but if you feel like detailing the joys and frustrations experienced in your Korean city, I'd love to hear all about it. Thanks.

Seoul.. by a long shot.

Seoul. All other places in Korea are pale imitations. Trust me, Seoul is the place to be in Korea, if you want to experience the real Korea that is.

Yeah, if you like living in a toilet.
