To my wonderful veteran expat readers - 'Life in Korea' posts are aimed at the newer expats among us. Think of these as the Idiot's Guide to Life in Korea - helpful for some, and a review for others. Please feel free to contribute what you know in the comments!
UPDATED 4 September 2009 9:32am: Some more updates / corrections / improvements from the comments - hat tips to Gomushin Girl, The Sanity Inspector, and asadalthought. While this post was not meant to be encyclopedic, I'm humbly accepting further suggestions :)
