100. I'm in Korea as well

May 2014

I was just about to chime in about it, but you provided quite a bit of info. That is true that the program limits us because of having a foreign ID number. I'm on an F visa and I heard if you get citizenship you are given a Korean ID number. That is still not enough of a reason to go through all that though. The biggest pain is uploading stuff to Youtube. The libel/slander laws here are incredibly tough from what I've heard. If you posted a video saying "such and such politician is an asshole", you would probably be in big trouble. I had a VPN for the short time I spend in China (I went there for 9 months in 2011-2012, but I have been in Korea since Jan 2004) as the "great wall" was really bad. I've found heard there are only two types of websites that are generally off limits here in Korea (one category has to do with North Korean and the other I'll let you guess).

There are a quiet a few of us on the board who are in either China, Korea, or Japan.
