You have just arrived in Okpo, South Korea and you don’t know a soul. What are you going to do?  Hopefully one of the expat men/women will take you by the arm while you walking down the street and help you find your way around.  Maybe you have the time to do a little research before you arrive in town or you have been here awhile and didn’t know about these websites now is the time to take a look.

My list includes helpful Facebook from here in Okpo that other people have created to discuss food, school, items for sale, group meetings, trips planned, play dates for children and so much more.  All that’s required to access the Facebook sites is to go to your Facebook Home page and in the search box type each Facebook group name and click the Enter Key.  Once the Facebook page has loaded, click on, “Friend Request”.  You will only have to do this request once.  Then the moderator for that Facebook site will need to approve your request and once that is done, you are set to go and check out the latest happenings.

There are also some other Okpo websites links listed to buy western food online, organic food, subway maps, sites to see from at the subway stops and more. The list is not all inclusive and will be updated as new places become available or become known by me.  If you have any other websites to add please leave me a comment and I will update.  Happy internet surfing.
