Support for foreigners living in Korea

 Exploring Foreigner Communities in Korea! 

Living in Korea as a foreigner can be both exciting and challenging. Thankfully, there are numerous communities that provide support, friendship, and resources to navigate life in the country. 

Popular Foreigner Communities: 

  1. Facebook Groups: Groups like Expats in Korea or city-specific ones (e.g., Seoul Expat Network) are great for finding housing, jobs, or meeting people. 
  2. Meetup Events: Platforms like Meetup host events ranging from language exchanges to hiking trips, helping foreigners connect with locals and other expats.
  3. Foreigner-Friendly Cafés and Bars: Places like Itaewon’s Vinyl or Hongdae’s Thursday Party often cater to international crowds.
  4. Cultural Clubs: Organizations like the Seoul International Women’s Association (SIWA) offer activities like cooking classes, charity events, and cultural trips.

These communities are invaluable for:

  • Building a Social Circle: Meet people from diverse backgrounds with similar interests.
  • Getting Local Advice: Learn tips on navigating Korea’s systems like banking, legal services healthcare, and transportation. 
  • Cultural Exchange: Share your culture while learning more about Korea.

My experience starting work at a Korean Law Firm!

 As the name of this blog suggests, my main interest is Law and specifically learning about legal work around the world! As I am currently living in Seoul, South Korea, I recently began an exciting chapter by starting work at Daeryun Law firm in Yeouido! Look at this breathtaking view!   35th floor of Parc.1.  This is a unique opportunity that has allowed me to work with people from different cultures!
