Anyone spent time in South Korea?

[love2hateroy]

Got a job recently that will require me to spend a couple months out of the year there. Little nervous about it since I've never been and don't speak the language! Anyone been there and have an opinion (good or bad) for me? Thanks!

I was stationed there back in 2003-2004. A lot of the locals speak English. I had fun but it was a year of excessive drinking.

Haha. Thanks very much, I see similar activities for me when I'm there as well.

Just don't end up too far north.

Whenever you have to deal with the locals, make sure you push up the outside corner of your eyes (preferably with the middle digits)...they get a kick out of it.

Spent a year of my life there... Try all of the food... Some of it is great while some isn't! Also... Don't ever spend your money on buying juice for women at the bar. It is way overpriced and you won't get anything more than conversation from them!

Where are you going?

Thanks! I'm going to be in Suwon, which is a little south of Seoul. Been there?

If I would have read this not knowing you were a Heel fan, I would have thought it was much funnier.

I did go to Suwon once or twice but was stationed at Kunsan. Travel to Osan if you can... You can get just about anything you want made from suits, jerseys, blankets, etc... Pretty cool stuff too!

Get really good at Starcraft before you go and you'll get laid like crazy.

Even for 2 months a year, learn Korean. Much easier to communicate with people that you come in contact with.

Kimchee- Korean cold slaw. VERY Good!

Kimchee is not for the faint of heart.

Tell them you'd prefer it if they spoke Japanese.

I've been told that kimchee is just fermented cabbage. Doesn't sound great, but I'm going to try whatever is in front of me while I'm there. I'm going to try to learn some of the language, but I've heard Korean is particular in pretty miserable to learn.
