Its ok as long as you dont own an Xbox One. We're looked upon as second class citizens and theres even a law in our constitution that makes it legal for people to lambast us with sarcastic Titanfall remarks. And whenever we tell our district representatives we always get the same persecution complex response. Writing to my congressman as i type.

I could list many, many reasons, but most of them are boring and have to do with having a family and career. But the poster above me summed up quick and simple with some pretty valid points. I realize on gaf most people want to go to Japan for gamez and animez but there are plenty of us who didn't give a fuck about that stuff when we made the decision to move our lives there.

Then since you don't speak Korean, you're fucking the same pool of "hotter girls" that every other English speaking person has fucked.

So pretty much Charisma man again...
I'm sure the kpop stars I'd be rolling with have picked up some English on their travels so it wouldn't be too bad.
Pretty sure the average height in S.Korea is only like a inch or two difference from the US. Not to mention they dont like foreigners except in certain areas.
Germanic languages.
lol not quite .. i just wanted to kno the diffrences betweens the two, japan seems beautiful .. but if its easier "to make it" in korea then i would have to look into it besides traveling between the two shouldnt be a hassle

What if we can get those Asian chicks to Europe
Will you be teaching English?
Korea is easily the most xenophobic country in all of Asia

They won't let us in Europe.
Only muslims allowed, sorry.

If you're from the US I'd switch nationalities with you in a heartbeat.

I don't know much about Korea as a whole, I do know small bits about South Korea though. There's a city called Pohang, where my sister currently lives. She says in this specific city, there are a lot of foreigners who are mostly there to teach English (as she is).
Its a rather small city and it has a small American military base in it. She says the cost of living there is cheap but by her standards that could be very wrong. She's lived there for a few months now and I've yet to hear a complaint.
She says the only difficult part was adjusting to the cultural norms of Korean people. Such as: Old person gets onto the bus, you stand and they sit. No public displays of affection are condoned or appreciated. Bare skin is a big no-no as far as they are concerned.
The biggest surprise, according to her, was the Korean people's willingness to accept foreigners into their society so openly. She has already been invited to many events and been on dates with a few Korean boys. Whether this boils down to a changing society or more leniency in theirs, I wouldn't know.
Interestingly enough, my sister has taken a train to Japan twice to go shopping. She says its a relatively short trip and she can literally go just for the weekend. So I guess you could commute every other week between the two.
That's pretty much all I know about Korea. I also know that being a teacher is quite a good profession over there. Raking in enough money to sustain yourself and save some. Good luck with whatever decision you make, be it to move to Japan or Korea.

How old are you OP?

so it's not nice
Oooh, another thread!!!!!!
Yup. An eikawa is your best bet. The biggest ones will handle your visa, travel arrangements, and set you up in a place to live. Even if you don't want to teach, a lot of people will get hired by an eikawa stateside, get their visa and then quit and find another job once they're there.
Some eikawas don't require you knowing the language. I went with Nova (never forget) and they actively didn't hire you if they caught wind that you knew any Japanese during the interview. You'll pick up a lot naturally just by being there, but yes... the more you know they easier your life will be. It's just not absolutely necessary to living there comfortably or happily. If you go with an eikawa you'll most likely be placed in an apartment with other english teach roommates, so you'll have people to hang out with right off the bat and opportunities to make friends with other expats. Then you start picking up the language more and getting off the beaten path more and befriending natives more.
It'll be what you make of it. Putting in that extra effort is worth it.
Anyway, I hope you're not joking about this because it's an amazing experience. The best I ever had. Definitely take it seriously and go.

Maybe I made it sound magical? I don't know, I've never been on a train in my life. That's just what she told me.
