      • CookingLiving and Cooking in Korea is Different than Home Cooking in Korea requires international residents to adapt in many ways. This includes learning where food is in grocery stores, which stores carry which ingredients, what can be used as a substitution, etc. It’s like learning how to cook and manage a kitchen all over again. This is part of the fun and adventure of living abroad and learning to adapt may give you new confidence in the kitchen.

    • Kids and FamilySouth Korea is a family-focused country due to a variety of reasons such as multi-generational family homes and a low national birth-rate. Children are allowed in nearly all food and drinking establishments and there are special travel accommodations that allow upwards of 20+ people per room. However, South Korea’s family-friendly experiences are often difficult for new international residents to access since South Korean family-friendly activities manifest in different ways than those experienced in the home countries of international residents. South of Seoul supports international families by publishing blogs that unravel what family-friendly looks like and how to access the activities.
