OT: Moving back to Korea, What are your tips an tricks?
After a decade back in the states, my winding life path looks like it's taking me back to Korea, so I may become 'BlueSeoul' once again or maybe 'YeosuBlue' for a while at least. I was wondering what new websites the kids are using to get cheap airplane tickets and what other traveling/moving tips you might have.
Stay in the south! Accommodations and welcome are better.
It's probably much cheaper to buy KRW in Korea. Good luck, I'd kill for some 돼지국밥.
I'm not at all an expert but have been going through a bit of a crash course as my kid is heading to Seoul for a semester abroad. From my flight searches, it seemed EVA was far and away the cheapest airline, but all the flights connect through Taipei I think. It was significantly cheaper (like $1200 RT instead of $1900). But the kid's grandmother decided to pop for a non-stop, so I can't really tell you how it is...
Also, if anyone has some tips for an American college student finding their way and making the most of a semester in Korea, I'm all ears!
There's a youtube channel called korean englishman and he has a lot of content related to being a college student in korea.
Hi friend
I lived in Korea for 15 years and enjoyed your 'BlueSeoul' identity

is probably your best bet to start with. Quick look shows they're pretty expensive right now. Once I find the best options, I think search that airline directly to see if they have cheaper deals, and then targeted google searches.

It's a relatively new long-distance LCC based in South Korea. They have a flight from LAX to ICN, but not sure if they have one from SFO.
As for the moving, if you don't plan to move a lot of stuff, there's a service called 'Dream-bag'.
Basically they charge you by the number of bags and it's cheap if you don't have a lot of bulk.
Stay South
You should ask CHUNG. I hear he was king of his domain in Seoul in 2001.
Super dependable streaming site. Some of the bigger contests (mostly NBA and MMA) might have Korean commentary but should be safe for Michigan sports. The non-Korean literate here could probably navigate this site as well if they stick to icons and whatever clues the thumbnails give.
잘 봐!
Man, I don’t envy that flight. Wife and I just got back from Tianjin, China and those flights kicked our asses. Just brutal. Safe travels…sounds like the start of a great adventure.
