South African Embassy Friends – Over here we live like kings! …
We were based among the rolling lush green hills and mountains of South Korea. My friend from church was from South Africa and taught at a local village Hogwon English school while I was teaching at the local university in a nearby city. She said, “Well let’s get on with it … how about skip down with us to Seoul for a visit. We can stay at my friend’s house from the South African Embassy. So my wife and I said sure and off we went. Seoul is a large metropolis of 10 or so million folks. It is an ultra modern city covered with towering glassy apartments that are quite expensive. But our embassy friend, one of zillions we would meet overseas, lived in a sprawling small mansion with a zillion rooms to spare. It was a fun visit. And she said to us, “Over here we live like kings, but back home we live just like everyone else!” I marvelled at the remark, but it pretty much sums up my life over here overseas.
Fun Options to Live Internationally, Even in The Twilight Years
Live the Dream?! 🙂 … Have you ever dreamed of living on a cruise ship – FULL TIME?
Of course I have heard of and knew some folks lived full time on cruise ships, but it never occurred to me as a possible option for retirement living, let alone for assisted living.
If you have the means to retire … it is surprisingly cheap!
Surprisingly the costs are much the same, around a $100 dollars a day or less with senior discounts.
