Life in Korea as a foreigner: everyday stories and tips
TUREFF• •0
This space is for people who live in Korea or are thinking of moving here: students, workers, families and long-term residents sharing the ups and downs of daily life.
TUREFF itself is run from Korea, and Korean members join these conversations too, which can help when something is confusing.
Let's compare experiences:
- What surprised you most in your first few weeks here?
- Finding a place to live, setting up a phone, sorting out banking: what helped?
- Making friends and building community outside work or school
- Learning Korean while living here: how much do you use day to day?
- Small joys of Korean life you would miss if you left
