[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just got back from South Korea.  I *LOVED* it, for the same reason OP loves Japan.

I would have moved there with kids, BUT, I would've put them in a private school with the intention of sending my kids to the US or Europe for college.  I don't want them to deal with hagwons and the like.

As for the office culture, it is terrible.  I wouldn't want to work for a Korean company, that's for sure. If I could, I'd work for a US company, and while I know the office culture would still not be the exact same as the US offices, it wouldn't be as bad as the Korean companies.

If they could fix their office culture and stressful school environment,  it would be an ideal place to raise a family.  Super safe in every way.

My kids are now in college and junior year in HS, so it's too late to move now.  My DC's HS had two lockdowns last year, where at least one gun was found on a student.  DC was super scared when that happened. Ugh. Horrible.

[b]My kids don't want kids here because they don't want them to have to go through school shooting lockdowns, and the insane college process that my college aged DC had to go through.[/quote]

We've taken our teens over summers to visit China, Japan, Taiwan, Canada, Italy, Costa Rica over the years.  My kid at 14 has said she has decided to apply to college overseas and will be doing her best to live a life overseas. My other kid has a learning disability and is not required to take a language in HS but he's still taking a language specifically because he's out of here.  I support them 100000000%![/quote]

Some dyslexics find Japanese easy to learn.[/quote]

lol totally makes sense. The language is read backwards [/quote]
