Living in Okpo South Korea
We have been here for three weeks now. Here are some of my initial impressions:
The city is dirty trash on the street, many sketchy bars and massage places and the air is very stale.
Not so great, however I have explored more and there are many other things the city and the surrounding area has to offer. There are many wonderful restaurants, the open market has great fresh and local produce, fish and meat. Not too far out of town there are many wonderful beaches. I like to go to the south side of the island I feel like the water is cleaner.
When we go out to the countryside or mountains, the air is cleaner there are many places to hike. Some regions offer, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and there are also atvs for rent. As a family we have rented kayaks the sailing club is about 20 minutes outside of the city. We have gone on many hot and humid yet beautiful hikes. Stephen has a several great paragliding trips and we have found many playgrounds some with water features for the kids. Some of the playgrounds have lots of trash but for the most part they are nice.
Looking back on my three weeks here it has gone by rather fast however the days are slow and sometimes lonely. I am anxious for the kids to start school and for some of the ex-pats to return from their summer holiday.
We will be visiting a waterpark/spa mid-week. The photos look nice so hopefully it will be a good time.
