10/27/2019 1 Comment Fourth bi-weekly postI am finally done with finals! I used my free time to go to the PC bang where you can use gaming computers for really cheap per hour. If you sign up for a membership, the rates are as low as a dollar per hour. The thing I like most about it, is that you can order all kinds of food from your computer and the employees will bring it to your table. Most of them are open 24/7 so you can visit the place anytime. Other than going to the PC bang, I have not been able to do much these two weeks because of school and I also caught a cold. The great thing about pharmacies here though is that you can tell the pharmacists your symptoms and they have medications for almost everything.

Pre-departureIn order to prepare for my upcoming semester in Seoul, I had gone to the embassy a month early from my departure date for my student visa, which was August 4. However, I could not obtain one even though I have been an American citizen my whole life because my father got his citizenship after I was born. I had to go through a very long and difficult process to acquire a Korean I.D. Please contact me if you have any questions about this process (especially if your ethnicity is Korean), as my other Korean American peers went through the same situation. My email is [email protected]. Other than preparing for documents to enter the country, I prioritized packing, making sure I had all my necessities packed a few days before my departure date. I went to the doctor to get refills for the medication I will be needing for the months ahead. I also called my bank to let them know I will be living in Korean until the end of December so I can freely use my cards without any foreign transaction fees. My number one tip would be to prepare for these types of things for the new semester as soon as the current semester ends! |
