My hometown is Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
When I was born, all I remember is that there were a few modern apartments between the vast pear and mulberry fields. They say that wealth comes from heaven. Not only did I become rich suddenly due to the development of Gangnam, but I also had a fairly prosperous childhood thanks to my mother, an obstetrician and gynecologist who ran a large hospital.
And now, over 50 years later, As a result of not being able to maintain the wealth that everyone envied, he ended up wandering around the United States alone. No regrets. Because I enjoyed so many things, because I did everything I wanted to do in the world,
Although I still have regrets, I have long since discarded them!!! And here I am, living in Las Vegas, with a face full of wrinkles and a body that has aged well. You live in Las Vegas? really??
Why live in that hot weather? Do you ever gamble? Don’t you have money to live in another city?? That's right. The question I heard countless times while living in Las Vegas was, “Why do you live in Vegas?” am. I love the weather in Vegas
In the middle of summer, the desert heat often reaches up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and I was surprised to see the temperature exceed 100 degrees in the middle of August in the middle of the night. However, Korean is something you have to listen to until the end. It's hot. It's hot, it's true that it's over 100 degrees at midnight, but what's certain is that it's definitely bearable.
Dry Heat, also known as extremely dry heat. There is not much humidity, so there is less sweat or stickiness, and it is comfortable to live in as long as there is shade. There may be a reason why the air conditioning is good, but the weather is pretty good except for these three months: June, July, and August. I've lived in New York, Chicago, LA, Texas, and other cities, but the weather in Vegas is the best for me. I may have a personal constitution that enjoys the heat, but I like Vegas better than Chicago, where it's so cold that you'll freeze to death at any moment, better than New York, which is colder than Chicago and full of cockroaches and rats, better than USA, which is expensive but has many homeless people and dirty places, and more than any city in Texas where you get irritated because it's sticky in the heat.
I like Vegas house prices
After the pandemic, many Koreans are considering moving to Vegas. Due to the surge in housing prices, which is not easily seen in the United States, coupled with inflation, the price of gas, which used to be in the mid-$2 range, has long since exceeded $5 (though it is now quite stable at around $3), and it is true that everything except the cost of living and salary has risen. So it may be natural that attention is focused on Vegas, where housing prices have not yet gone crazy.
Of course, I've seen a few friends say they're happy that the house they bought for $200,000 five years ago has just doubled in price, but Vegas is still the place where you can buy a pretty decent house for less than $500,000.
Of course, there are not only advantages. Young people are worried about their children's education, and older people are distrustful of medical services. There are people who worry that they might die if they sleep with the fan on because it's so hot. Some people threaten that if they live in Vegas, everyone will become a gambling addict, others are afraid that there is no place to get a job except in a hotel, and there are some crazy people who say that the city will soon fail due to lack of water.
Now, let's think about it. A person who is good at studying can get into Harvard even if he goes to a rural high school. The medical facilities are not the best, but unlike Korea, where it is difficult to even be hospitalized without paying for the surgery, there is no comparison in that they put people first. Although it is true that there are more people who have lived in Vegas for over 30 years and have never been near a gambling place, and that the water quality is poor due to a lot of limescale, it does not significantly affect washing, eating, drinking, and living. There is a good reason why people flock to Vegas. It is intolerable to disparage Las Vegas, which is full of charm, based only on preconceived notions and the prejudice of gambling.
I like living in Vegas
One of the biggest reasons I like Vegas is that my terrible back pain disappeared. When I lived out of state, my back pain was so severe that I had to go to the emergency room several times. Even though I didn't have a herniated disc or any special spinal disease, I suffered from back pain once or twice a year to the point where I couldn't even take a single step. Maybe being overweight is the problem. But strangely, after coming to Vegas, the back pain disappeared. According to my doctor, the low humidity helps with back pain, but it is definitely a miracle.
Also, I'm glad that my dog, who I love more than my mother and daughter, doesn't take flea medication. It's amazing that the weather in Vegas is so hot that tics and other bugs can't live in dogs. Is that it? Taxes are definitely lower compared to other states. There is no state tax or income tax. There is no pension tax, inheritance tax, or franchise tax. Property taxes are also very low compared to other states. Whether you are salaried or self-employed, Vegas is the best.
Since it is a tourist city, no matter which sushi restaurant or Korean restaurant you go to, it is overflowing with customers. People who don't want to study can easily get a job by attending a dealer academy for a month. If you decide to become a full-time server, you can make quite a bit of money. This is because the cost of living is relatively low.
I like Vegas. I like the free Jackcock while playing $20 worth of slot machines, and best of all, it's great because it's not cold in the winter. It's hot in the summer, but the humidity is low so you don't get irritated, and it's nice to be able to enjoy greenery as much as you like if you're just a little outside the city center, whether it's a lake or a valley.
The excuse is that the educational environment in Vegas is not good. People who live in Vegas say they don't have money, it's all a lie. Although there are no famous high schools to choose from, there are plenty of kids going to better universities from expensive private schools. Go to Summerlin, go to Henderson. There are a ton of grandiose houses built on huge amounts of land. Uber is good, so you don't have to worry about drunk driving, and the food and events that vary from hotel to hotel are also good. The movie theater seats are spacious, which is nice, and even if you only want to do some shopping, it's even better because there are many luxurious stores selling luxury goods. The city is not large, so you can get to most places within 30 minutes, and there are many places where you can see green nature just an hour away.
I like Vegas. Even if you don't gamble, or even if you don't know how to gamble, just going to a hotel makes your heart pound and you get excited. A fancy show is better. Local people also like restaurants that offer discounts. I like the bright lights of the Strip, and I even like the eerie feel of Red Rock Canyon.
If you are thinking about moving to Vegas, I highly recommend it. Especially if you have back pain, If you want to open a store without franchise tax, This is true for the majority of ordinary people who can easily overcome the temptation of gambling.
Today again, I speak with confidence. I live in Vegas!!
