No, but you must apply for the appropriate visa to live there, through the Korean embassy. In most countries, you must apply for a residency visa and live there at least 5 years before you are allowed to apply for citizenship. You can get all info from the Korean embassy.
2 :
Unfortunately you cannot just live there, you must be there for a "purpose". You can visit there visa free for up to 90 days (If you hold a U.S. passport), but any longer, such as "living" there would require a long-term visa such as a work visa or a student visa. If you are currently employed by a multinational, see if the possibly have an office in Korea and any open positions, or maybe teach English. English is the biggest craze in Korea right now, and as much as parents want their children to learn Korean, schools, academies, and tutoring centers are looking to hire foreign help. Also maybe do a job search, see if you can work in Korea full-time, renewing your visa each time it expires. Obtaining Korean citizenship through the means of being a permanent resident, takes many years, requires many preconditions, is lengthy and you must go through the Korean legal system (Which is very complicated), and citizenship tests are very difficult. The only other way to obtain Korean citizenship (Well the simplest way) would be to marry a Korean citizen, and taking on their citizenship. I hope that helped, and hopefully you will get to Korea someday soon. Seoul is an amazing city, and has so much too offer (Plus it's very safe). ** As far as a flight from San Jose to Seoul-Incheon, it would take anywhere between 15-20 hours depending on where your connecting flights are. There are no direct flights from San Jose to Korea, so you most likely would have to transfer planes in Los Angeles with a 2-3 hour layover before departing straight for Seoul. **

The flight from LAX to Seoul is about 9-11hours. it's very exhausting for me. and you can't be a korean citizen unless your parents are citizens of korea but you don't necessarily have to be a korean citizen to live in korea. hope that helps:)

What's a nice hotel near the San Jose, Costa Rica airport
What's a nice hotel near the San Jose, Costa Rica airport?
Need a hotel for one night near the San Jose, CR airport. I arrive on a regional flight at 11AM and depart the next day for the US at 6AM. I would like somewhere pleasant w/ a pool that's near the airport. I would prefer NOT to stay at an American chain (i.e. NOT the Hampton Inn). Preferably around $100 per night would be a good budget. Thanks. Thanks. I should stay near the airport because my flight to the US is at 6AM the next day. Know any good spots near the airport? Or is Hampton Inn the only option? Thanks. I think I'll pass Adventure Inn only because it doesn't look like it has a good pool scene. I'm going to spend almost the whole day in San Jose, so I'd like a place w/ a decent pool. Any more suggestions?

BRAVO! You can't believe how happy it makes me to hear a comment from a like-minded traveler. I just DETEST lame chain places when I can stay in a colorful locally operated property. Unfortunately for you, the Hampton Inn happens to be freakin' smack dab next to the San Jose airport, which is why so many Americans love the heck out of it. I always just bite the bullet and do the 20 minute taxi ride each way into downtown San Jose where I stay in one of the B&B style inns in Barrio Amon for half the price and twice the quality. There's a lot of good places there: the Don Carlos is excellent, the Brittania very upscale, the Hotel Santo Tomas unassuming but friendly, the Fleur de Lys cosmopolitan with a heavy european clientele. Just a few ideas...

Stay at the Hampton. I had the same opinion and took the 20 min ride into San Jose. I got robbed the in less than one hour. Stay out of San Jose.

Try adventure inn, ive stayed there myself.. its cheap, the rooms are very clean and overall its a nice place. Its about 5 minutes away from the airport, you can take a taxi from the airport for maybe $5, or a bus for 25 cents. Here is their site: http://www.adventure-inn.com/

dude... there is a nice hotel near the airport called Mango Hotel its like $90 a room is nice there and its quite next to the hampton inn

my cousin from india flew to new york by lufthansa airlines. on the 18th of june, he will be flying from new york to los angeles. i am not sure if he is flying on lufthansa airlines or on some domestic airline. i heard his flight departs 7 am and arrives in los angeles at 10 pm. how is that possible? when i went to new york last year, my flight departed san jose at 7 am and arrived in new york at 6 pm. the total flight was 18 hours because of the time difference and the lay over

Your cousin definitely will NOT be flying on Lufthansa as they do not fly domestically in the U.S. As for the times, the ONLY thing I can think of that would have those departure and arrival times is changing planes somewhere with a HUGE layover.
2 :
Probably domestic airline, definiteley not lufthansa because that is a totally different ethnic airline for the trip
3 :
okay, this is really simple mathematics and a whole llot of just plain common sense. Los Angeles observes Pacific Daylight Savings Time and New York obviously observes Eastern Daylight Savings Time. If it's a nonstop flight from JFK, the flight time is 6 hours. So if his original flight leaves at 7:00 a.m. and the flight time is 6 hours (0700 hr. + 0600 hr.) = 1300 hrs. These times are written using the 24 hours clock system which all airline and military personnels use. Therefore, his plane lands at 1300 hrs. New York Time which is 1:00 p.m. Los Angeles observes Pacific Time, they are 3 hours behind. That why the local time will be 10:00 a.m.

Irrational fear after 9/11
Irrational fear after 9/11?
I need some stories about things that were blown completely out of proportion due to the irrational fears following 9/11. They should be stories that I can find in the news. I already have the story about the mosque for example. Also, I found this- "The passengers boarding the Virgin Atlantic Airways flight from London to Los Angeles were wary, but everyone began to relax after takeoff. In midflight, over Canada, an attendant noticed a suspicious object behind a seat. Immediately, the cabin erupted in panic. The plane made an emergency landing in Edmonton, Canada, the passengers were evacuated, and a bomb squad was dispatched. The suspicious item? A cellphone." and this- "A man on a flight to San Jose, California, opens an envelope and a powdery substance spills out. A fellow passenger alerts the flight attendant, reporting that he had dispersed the powder into the ventilation system. Once the plane lands, it is held on the tarmac for three hours and the FBI is called to investigate. The "powdery substance" was confetti enclosed in a greeting card." but I can't find the actual news stories that they are tied to. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :) Thanks so much!

Is this flight connection time tight
Is this flight connection time tight?
My flight arrives at Miami from San Jose (Costa Rica) at 4:25, and I'm leaving to Madrid at 6:10. Will I have time to get the flight to Madrid? Also, I am a US citizen, so it won't take so long in security. Also, the flight from San Jose arrives at the same terminal than the one to Madrid departures.

Yes, providing your bags are checked through to your connecting flight so you don't need to collect them.
2 :
Just barely enough time, you need to expect at least an hour to get through customs and immigration and then security checkpoint before you can get into the terminal. If your checking bags, realize you will have to get your bags before going through customs and immigration, once past, there weill be a drop off section for your bags to get on your next flight.
3 :
I think it will depend on how many other international flights arrive in Miami around that time. Other people are probably going to be making that same connection so I would not be surprised if the airlines have planned for this so I think you will have enough time but you don't want to waste a lot of time as you will have to pick-up your bags in Miami and then re-check them to Madrid.

i am in New York and it is all sunny. the weather channel says it should stay the same next week. so i don't know. maybe check the internet next week for weather in new york. =P

It depends on the airport you are flying into and the time. Also, how busy Denver is. I live in NYC and flew back on a direct flight from Seattle a month ago and our flight was delayed by an hour because of plane issues in Seattle - not New York. In general JFK, LGA, and Newark have very heavy flight volume - it's not unheard of that your captain will say "we'll be approaching New York in a few minutes" and then you may circle over the city once or twice before landing - it's just due to the high traffic coming in. Some flights home I've circled for quite awhile, other times we've landed fairly fast. One tip that doesn't answer your question, but will help you: if you plan to take a taxi from any of the area's airports - DO NOT accept rides from people that are standing around the baggage claim. EWR, JFK, and LGA all have official taxi stands right outside, wait at one of those. If the line is long there is usually another taxi stand, a short walk away (that no one else will be at, strangely). Enjoy your trip.

They are always over booked. Get there early.
