Moving to Ulsan

21 years ago

Posted by Irish:

My husband is leaving for Ulsan at the end of the month and my son (5) and I are supposed to move shortly. I'm waiting until my husband gets back to give me a report. I have lived overseas before but it's been a while. Can anybody give me an insight into what life is like in Ulsan. I've read about it being an industrial port city. I'm excited about the adventure, but I'm concerned about the education system there. My son has ADHD, not on medication and has been attending a structured montessori school - this is my biggest concern. What are the schools like there? What is expat life like there? Food? Social Life? Housing? Sports/Recreation/ Fitness centers? Really everything in general. We also have a dog that we want to take with us. What is there for spouses to do, I've worked all my life, but am not too concerned about that, just want to know I would have enough to do to keep me busy.
We like to take adventure trips and experience the culture of wherever we are, I'm a physically active person, I work out every day. I run and go to a gym. I would really appreciate any input.
Thank you.
