Well, I know that. I have been here for 14 months and no war. However, I would rather be in a country that has relatively NO CHANCE. This is just not safe, not in terms of war, but if you have indeed been to Korea, you would know that mopeds drive on the sidewalk, cars (taxis) drive like psychopaths, and old people push and shove people to get on and off buses and subways. When my wife was pregnant, she almost fell down an escalator (if you've been here, you would know they are like 20 meters long at a 45 degree angle) because some old woman was in a rush and literally shoved her. She was even pushed off an elevator by old people who demanded they go in first. Also, the number of times she has had to stand instead of sit because of some of these people, plus there is so many damn stairs here that strollers or walking around with a baby is just nuts. WAR? Not really the biggest problem with Korea right now. But being allowed to drink on the street and any time of day or night (I am referring to alcohol of course) and drunkenness being allowed by police? 35 degree weather? Ridiculous traffic, rude elderly (some but not all of course) and the small living spaces? I grew up in Canada my whole life. It is huge and open and free(dom) so I am now in the opposite situation, which I don't like. My main concern (why I have been able to stand it so far) is my son.
