Yeah this is definitely the case. If you can't afford an iPhone or don't want to get stuck on a contract an iPod touch works just as well if you're around wifi. Kakao for android is also identical so it doesn't really matter.

Kakao is like 95% of how I can keep in contact with friends in Korea. Since facebook chat on phones basically sucks I find using facebook with them to only work similar to email since no one wants to facebook chat using a phone.

If any of your friends have skype that's a good way of keeping in touch while being able to practice some of your language skills.

Try to initiate conversation a lot. In my case basically everyone I know in Korea are female and aren't really that forward about starting a conversation at random. When you aren't sharing many commonalities in day to day life it can actually get difficult after awhile to find something interesting to talk about. Try to teach them some interesting english word or phrase and ask them about some Korean phrases. I've found that to be a pretty good icebreaker when you don't really have much to talk about.

With the time difference and how busy it seems everyone is over there it's easy to have no contact with people for awhile. Especially during exam periods. Good luck adjusting back to home.
