Well...I guess I can add more options, but I want to keep this poll in line with my own views.

That is a very one sided, and therefore pointless, poll. I realize that you want to keep it inline with your views, but damn... I do not see this going well. x_x

Completely pointless and it displays the character of a person who enjoys wasting his time.

Depends on the friend. Some people are cut out to be here, some people aren't.

I wouldn't because its usually embarrassing having people come to visit here.

After 2 or 3 days of being pushed in front of etc and seeing the general rude behaviour that is normal in seoul, they always come out with "How do you stand to live here?? I could never live here!".

Ummm Rolling Eyes

I Agree..

just depends on the friend I am possibly referring.

The ability to live in a foreign country long term. To adopt to the cultural differences. The ability to be mature and responsible and most important resourceful. Can adapt quickly to change..
Gosh , so much to consider..

Agree to all of the above, and also point out that it depends on the country and the personality of the person. Some countries are better for some people depending on those factors... Example, extroverted people might do better in Japan and worse in Korea? People who like to hike and whatnot might do better in Korea than China, etc...

Don't you mean the opposite? Japanese culture is way more laid back and less about all the mandatory socializing than Korea. If anything, I'd say Japan would be much better for an introvert.
