Q. Like how much do we pay every month, and please type them from the cheapest to the most expensive.
A. Korean apartments are rented/sold based on size, number of rooms and location. Size is measured as pyong (sq meters). So a 35 pyong place is about the size of large US 2 BR apartment. Prices in Seoul range from a low of about 200,000 won a month for some little student studio (1 room with a community toilet) places to a high of more than 10,000,000 won a month for a huge place in the Kangnam area of Seoul. Here is a good link for you to compare prices and see pictures of actual apartments and how to go about renting.

My husband is AF and got a 1 year unaccompanied to South Korea. Can I move home and get BAH?
Q. Since he will be gone for the year i wanted to move back home to VA instead of staying on base here. Can i get BAH? Does anyone know how that works?
A. The first answer is wrong. I was stationed in Korea, and I work Finance. If your husband does a tour of Korea without you, you get BAH for the zip code you live at. When I was in Korea my wife rented a place in NC and I received the BAH for that location. He needs to present finance with a copy of a lease and a copy of the marriage certificate
What are the cellphone networks available in south korea?
Q. is there any prepaid cellphone network available? of none what is the cheapest cell phone line available?
A. I had a KTF prepaid phone, and my friend had an LG Telecom prepaid phone. I think generally messages cost about 30won to send, you dont have to pay to receive... but my friends all said that was expensive. I now have a contract phone, which actually doesnt seem to be any cheaper, but then I guess its because im not restricting myself to how much I use my phone.
I got by on about 20,000 a month, but I wasnt really making calls, just messaging. The minimum prepaid amount is 5,000won. I just went into the KTF 'members' shop to recharge it.
I wouldnt bother renting a phone, a friend of mine did that, and it cost soooooooooo much! No NO NO dont do that!
Cheapest way to do it is to get one of your Korean friends to sign up one of their old cellphones to a company with prepaid. It doesnt cost them a cent, and you dont have to pay any bond or anything.
Initially signing up for a contract you have to pay all sorts of crap 'members' stuff, that you dont actually use, its about 40,000 a month of nothing for 6 months. I managed to argue my way out of some of it, but yeah.. some of its compulsory.
Worth it if you plan to use your phone alot, because the charges are substantially lower, however if you arent going to be in the country all that long, maybe it would be better to look into getting a prepaid.
Just message your friends and they generally call back. All my Korean friends hate messaging, but I actually hate talking on the phone haha.

how many kids does the average family in North and South korea have?
Q. I need an answer for both :)
Thanks!
Thanks!
A. Both countries have very low birth rates.
South Korea's hovers around 1.2 or 1.3 children per woman (one of the lowest in the OECD).
North Korea's is unknown, but due to constant famine conditions, the birth rate is very low, especially in the cities. The infant mortality rate is very high due to a poor medical system.
It is considered good to have more than one kid, but the economies in both countries are such that it is prohibitively expensive to support more than one kid for most families. Relative to income, rents are high, food is expensive, and there's a cultural expectation that the kid be put in private cram schools all day long. This really adds up, and it's a financial strain to raise even one kid, let alone two.
