Default Re: Missing Korea

I left in September after 5 years. There are some specific things that I miss - korean food, expat social scene, $$$, but I don't miss Korea in general at all. If I found a good Korean restaurant here and got a higher paying job, I wouldn't miss Korea at all.

When I'd been home on previous vacations, I missed Korea and after 2 weeks and was always totally ready to head back. At the start of my 5th year as I was returning from vacation in Canada, I was not happy to be coming back, and that's when I started to realize that maybe I'd had my fill. If you're missing Korea, maybe you weren't ready to leave.
