Tips for Moving to South Korea
• Many Koreans do not speak English. Learning the language goes a long way to showing respect for the country you will be moving to. You will find the Korean Hangeul writing symbols much easier to master than either the Japanese of Chinese writing symbols.
• The society respects age, experience and financial responsibility. The grace shown in accepting situations, apologizing or listening are often valued more than any opinion offered.
• You will find a friendly and amazingly safe society. Even walking out late at night in Seoul, the mega city that never sleeps, there is a refreshingly safe feel.
• Best to being your cloths as Koreans tend to be shorter and smaller than the average North American. The weather in mid summer will bring more rain than even those from the rainiest part of Canada experience. Alternately, January brings dry freezing weather with occasional heavy snowfalls.
• Best to plan your move to arrive in the spring or autumn. Consider that typically, rooms, homes and apartments are much smaller that in Canada. You’ll have to balance the size of chairs you are comfortable with and the rooms they will be placed in.
