Socializing with fellow Koreans is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Emirati mentality and way of life. Koreans in the UAE are a part of our community, calling cities such as Dubai, Sharyah, Abu Dhabi, and many others home. You can use 51ԹϺto look for fellow Koreans in Abu Dhabi, for example.
