I spent 13 months in South Korea at the behest of my Uncle and I wouldn't spend a penny to visit there.
Yeah, I guess they could choose between going to NK, or downtown Detroit, the south side of Chicago, east LA, or one of the other crap holes in a big city in the USA. Nothing like going to one of our downtowns and hoping you get out alive, before having your throat slit or died from a gunshot in a drive by shooting. Your pick I guess.
a year working in the Command center in Yong Son.
Lived off post.
The Korean people are the hardest working folks I have ever seen.
They treated me wonderfully the entire time i was there.
Traveled the country side to get the hell out of Seoul a monster large city.
Never had a problem and would go for a visit in a minute if I could afford it.
