Default Re: Country Mouse or City Mouse?

When I korea first I was in a small town of 30,000 people and after a week I realised that I made a huge mistake. I was so bored, I interacted lots with the people around me but there was nothing much to do except go up the one mountain, go drinking to the 2 good bars. There was a beach nearby but it was too cold in Winter and too hot in Summer so I couldn't go there for long. There was 3 other westerners in the town who I could talk to and there was another bigger town about 30 minutes away but the last bus back was 8.30 in the night. It started to drive me crazy and I worked like crazy to pass the time.

Then I moved to a city which is about 40 minutes from Seoul and I am never bored here. There is so much to do but sometimes I wish that it was a little quieter
