Its inevitable, at some point you’ll be out and about and have to use one of Bundang’s many public restrooms. In Korea, most restaurants don’t have their own restroom.

When you do, don’t be surprised to find it void of soap, towels and even toilet paper.

Giving birth to a new son or daughter doesn’t have to be as scary as you’d think. Many of my friends at Mosaic English Cafe are new parents. Lisa Fincaryk is a doula that takes the pain away from navigating the doctors and hospitals in Bundang and Seoul. She gave birth to her first son here in Korea and has a second child on the way in November 2009. Lisa learned alot from that experience. She also found that she could get more of the care she wanted just by speaking up. If you haven’t given birth to a child here in Korea and are considering it, there’s alot other websites won’t tell you.
