If you decide to move to South Korea or just want to spend at least six months in this beautiful country, it is much easier than you might think because the country is not as strict with the customs and import rules as China or Japan. Of course, the trick is to learn as much as you can before you travel and get all of your documents properly translated. By doing so, you will already know all the precautions and the rules that you must follow, both as a tourist and someone who decides to become a part of this amazing land and the culture.
There was a culture in Ridgewood that embraced intellect , community, and quality of life. This has deteriorated to a society of entitlement and condescension : even in the houses of worship. .Merchants behave as if they are doing ME a favor by being open. I’m not sure the solution- I adore my home town, but don’t care to live there any longer.
or is Social media amplifying the negativity ….
There are many of us here who still love our neighbors, our town, our schools, our teachers and those who work tirelessly to make Ridgewoid a great town to raise a family. Social media has given these naysayers a forum to complain about their miserable lives.
Panelists: Ridgewood needs to shine spotlight on artistic events

Jazz feasts, film festivals, classical chamber concerts, rock shows, art galleries.
The positive dual-consensus among those at an Oct. 29 forum, which explored the “role of arts and historic preservation” in the Central Business District (CBD), was that the arts offer experiential opportunities important for attracting visitors and binding a community together, and that, luckily, Ridgewood already has most, if not all, of the components.
It just needs to get the word out.
“Ridgewood is certainly not a cultural wasteland,” said Deputy Mayor Albert Pucciarelli, who helped organize the forum. “I think if anything, what we need to do is [promote] it so we make it all known … It’s up to us to be good stewards of it.”
Residents on the new Ridgewood Arts Council are striving to do so, by working with the village’s network administrator, Dylan Hansen, to create a page on the village website – which is in the process of being revamped – that would be a “one-stop shop” for people looking for information on artistic goings-on in the village, noted Ridgewood Arts Council chair Linda Bradley.
The arts council, which became a village committee in 2014, is in the process of reinvigorating its general mission of promoting the arts in Ridgewood. The group has a broad definition of art that includes not just visual and performance arts, but fashion and the culinary arts, Pucciarelli said.
