Gwangju City (광주시)!

Here is a map for those who would like a visual of where I will be living. Gwangju is very far to the south west. Seoul and Pusan are the largest cities in South Korea and getting to either one would take me about 4 hours--Seoul is quite north and Pusan is on the east coast and slightly more south than Gwangju.  Gwangju is the sixth largest city in Korea with an area of 193.53 sq mi and population of 1,471,324 people.. Gwang means "light" and Ju means "province." Therefore I will be living in "Light Province" which sounds absolutely lovely!
