- lzw 16y agoIs it difficult to get residency permits for foriegners? what is the cost of living like in Korea in general? How is transportation?
- dedalus 16y agoIts not very difficult for foreigners as the government is slowly encouraging the startup scene. Transportation is very good and cabs are very cheap ($3.00 min). Housing is pretty expensive where the concept of rent is thrown out. You pay the owner $200K and forget paying rent for 2 years. After 2 years you get your $200K back.
- tomh- 16y agoCan you tell a bit more about the startup scene in Seoul? In my experience Korean web companies are very focused on the local market or they make computer games (but don't hire international people).
- dedalus 16y agoYou are right. Its highly local but the scene is changing slowly as the local market is fairly saturated.
- shard 16y agoI'm currently in Seoul. Do you have any pointers to things happening here?
- dedalus 16y agoCheck the local listings in Bundang and Gangnam as the startup scene is very concentrated in those areas
