Besides you'll be in Youngsan which is in a very safe area. You should find out what part of Seoul to stay away from during orientation. Also ther are plenty of people to find out which areas to avoid during your stay. Houshold6, the protests usually are in a particular area and things don’t get bad until all of them assemble.

I have seen it before when a English teacher will buy hook line and sinker anything his hogwan master tells him to think. I would avoid the anti-American protests if I was you. But if you insist on proving the protest are not anti-American, then go ahead and post a picture of yourself with your American flag, at the anti-American protest. I suspect you are a liar, and wont, but go ahead. :razz: :razz: Liam it sounds you have case of Stockholm syndrome.

Americans are safe and sound in Korea, these are ANTI-GOVERNMENT protests. The whole beef issue is only a way to get at the government for thie high-handed behaviour against its own people. I went to the protest one night recently and it was 95% peaceful - things have gotten out of hand since then, but considering that this country was a ruthless dictatorship that massacred its own people until the late 1980s, I'd say people are well entitled to be scared about the railroading of their civil liberties. I could walk down the main street of Seoul wearing an American flag and singing the star spangled banner, and I'd be perfectly safe. Some of these comments are ridiculous.

Koreans really love young children so you will probably receive lots of compliments from them about your two young daughters. If you get stationed at Yongsan you will especially have great tour in Korea. If your daughters are that young you will have no problems.

I am sure we will have no problem with our 5 year old daughters running the streets of Seoul. My father,& father in-law,and husband have all served tours in Korea before,all non-command sponsored, and have had many kind things to say about the Korean people. I doubt many Koreans are laughing and grinning at the rape of anyone. I think SOME PEOPLE either like to say bad things about good people or enjoy trying to scare people. I was just hoping some SOLDIERS or DEPENDENTS that have been stationed in Korea could tell me if they felt safe and if they met many Koreans who were anti-american. Thanks for your reply. GI Korea,

All USFK family members and personnel are supposed to stay away from these protests and forewarning is put out way in advance. IMO the biggest thing to worry about for two young girls in Seoul would be as Shattered point out, sexual assaults, not these idiot protesters. US soldiers and expats have been raped before in Korea and their attackers either not caught or released because the victim didn't resist enough. Sexual assaults are not uncommon and punishment is very light if any for the perpetrators. Common sense things like not letting your daughters run around all night in Seoul can largely prevent these things from happening. Seoul is big city and the vast majority of the people are nice and will leave you alone. If you take the same precautions you would take if you lived in a big city back in the US you will be alright.
