Korea Visa For Indians

I have been a Korea resident and having traveled almost all over the world,I can say that South Korea is one of the best places to live even if you are not married to a Korean. Many expats who come to live in South Korea have the wrong impression of South Koreans. I must admit I had some prejudices myself before I started living here, but once I got to know these people intimately, I saw just how wrong I was. There are thousands of expats in South Korea, mostly English teachers. Most of them live in Seoul or Busan with a few more in other cities. But foreigners living in Korea increasingly prefer living in small cities that provide cozier atmosphere than in big cities such as Seoul and Busan where nightlife is more popular among locals and foreigners alike. Living anywhere in the country for an expat would be convenient despite differences in living costs between large and small cities. My intention for this writing is to emphasize how firmly committed Koreans are when welcoming foreign guests.
