Koreans Living in Canada Travelling Back Home

Pin It


I have many Korean friends around me. I remember one of my Korean friends actually went to Ontario, in Canada to learn English and spend some good times there. Suddenly, this incident drives some of my interest on how many Koreans are actually living in Canada. I started wondering about Koreans living in Canada and whether or not many of them travel home back to Korea. So, now I am going to share a little about Koreans in Canada.

In fact, Canada has the 4th largest population of Koreans in a Foreign Country in the world. China is in the 1st followed by US and Japan then Canada. Almost 300,000 Koreans currently live in Canada. I think this is a very interesting fact. For China, it is so true because China own the largest population in the world, while US are the most Foreign nation in the world, and Japan is nearest to Korea. However, how about Canada? 

Well actually, the largest number of Koreans in Canada is mainly due to the period when the weakness of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar helped Koreans migrant and save more in exchange rate. South Korea supplies the largest number of international students to Canada as well as Canada government granted VISA waiver for Korean Visitor. Since then the population of Korean in Canada boosted up. These are some pretty interesting facts.

I have another question! Do they really miss Korea? Do they ever miss their parent or friends in Korea? OH YES, they like anyone else that will think about their parents, friends and homeland. Even my Korean friends that live in Canada will back to Korea once or two annually. They often book flights or vacation packages back to Korea as they miss their parents, friends, Seoul, Traditional Culture, Korean Entertainment, festivals, Jim-Jil-Bang, Korean food and for family reunions as well! Koreans are really patriotic and love coming back to visit their country!

What I really wish is that all the Koreans living in Canada, China, US or any other countries, they could have chance to go back to their homeland. I believe most of their parents and friends really miss them!

This is the sharing of my thoughts; I hope you get to know about it.

Thank you.

Muslim Traveler to South Korea

Pin It

Any travelers no matter who’s the traveler is, Chinese Traveler, American Traveler, European Traveler or African Traveler somehow they might worry about the foods, place of worship, cultural different in those countries that they intended to visit especially for 1st time travelers. How about Muslim Traveler?

South Korea is a non-Islamic country somehow Muslim Traveler might have some concern about especially for the 1st time Muslim Traveler to South Korea. So, today I am going to end the worries for Muslim Traveler to Visit Korea. ^_^

But why they so worry about it?

In Islam, pork, meat of carnivorous animals, the blood of dead animals, and meat not properly slaughtered or slaughtered in any name other than Allah are prohibited for them to consume. Even among herbivorous animals and birds, only halal meat is allowed. A part from that, every Muslim Male is recommended to do worship in mosque on Friday weekly. Yeah! That’s why ^_^  

Muslim Food in South Korea
Beside, in South Korea, many dishes are made with pork and it is very common in Korea to drink alcohol during or after a meal and this may be offensive to Muslim Traveler. So, Muslim Traveler usually brought packaged instant food with them on their trip to Korea, it is kind of inconvenience for them to do this if they come for more than 3 days.  

In fact, actually there are about 100,000 of local Muslim community in Korea and also Islamic countries and Korea have had ties for more than a thousand years through cultural exchange! Believe it or not? So, this is why I said there will be no worry for Muslim Traveler to South Korea! Alright! Below are the list of Halal Restaurants and mosque in South Korea, You can check it out!



IF, you need some halal instant foods in your trip, you still can easily get it in Muslim Grocery shops near any Masjids or the Islamic centers.  

Well, that's all from me! If you have something to add, some suggestions or correction, please do not hesitate to leave comments! 

Thanks and always stay tune with LeX Paradise! Muslim Traveler to South Korea!
