FLOODED RICE FIELDS are what you will encounter around most corners as you walk (and you will walk much very much- (as well as separate your organic metal and plastic trash-its the law!)) as in south korea the preferred way to grow rice is a under a foot of water within pristine landscapes. Frogs,- from their respective flooded rice fields-, are singing and whisk me to sleep,- or to a peaceful mood, as they did back in Tennessee.
Also, You will encounter free outdoor gyms close to every train station with 90% of the exsercizeees being women over 70(very popular to exercise and eat healthy in korea)..
It is not uncommon to see men holding hands or for people to scrub each others backs within public bathhouses(very popular),…. it is not uncommon for an old man to walk up to you and point out that there is only one star in the sky in a picturesque place close to the moon (happened this very night) or for them to happily chatter and laugh with you for 15 minutes as you wait at the train station (even if they know you don’t know a touch of Korean!!!!)
At this point in reading, I think you will be of the strong opinion for or against living in korea. I think it is not for everybody, but that it is made for some.
