DONT MOVE TO KOREA

14 years ago
this has been nothing but a headache. you are not allowed to come on post with out being in debis. next you need a ration card just to go inside the commissary and px. rent is outrageous. try 1.6 million in korean money. the trains dont accommodate for strollers. the drivers are rude. we used the air in the summer and our bill was 700,000 won. not to mention when it was time to move out they dang near made us pay this same amount when we were only in the apt for 14 days of the month. they made us pay for the floor which was 250,000 and for some wall paper that we reported earlier in the year (they did not fix). this has been the worse experience ever. health care hear is a joke. they will let you die and someone actually did. these soldiers who work as pre-tend doctors have the dont care attitude. you can report them all you want and nothing happens. jobs well the koreans have all of those. this is not a place for american families. the swapmeets (the ville) will up the price and tell you "Gi money". this is not fair that the military allows this sort of stuff to occur. i wlll never come to another overseas assignment again.unless you want to be ripped off dont come here.
