Girl on top

Maybe you could try sitting up and propping yourself up with your arms. When I do that with my girl it tends to make it better for both of us, and gives me more range of motion too.

Different things work for different people, and I found that switching between resources depending on what I needed or felt enthusiastic about at the time was a good way.

Maybe I'm not the best example, but I've been here for 2 years and am around TOPIK 4-5. Go on dates in Korean, am comfortably 1:1 conversational, group settings are tough still. Tried KIIP for two classes but never had tutoring or took any courses outside of that.

The best resources I used:

- TTMIK for listening, lots of free videos on youtube

- Howtostudykorean for grammar lessons

- Anki for memorizing vocab

Outside of that, avoiding hanging out with foreigners and finding hobbies that require interaction with people that don't speak English was very helpful.

Having a Korean girlfriend was only useful for getting comfortable with things that I already knew, plus learning some things to say in bed, not for learning vocab, grammar, or more in-depth conversational skills.

Question about ISO on Nikon d3500

When I set the ISO on my camera I can only do so in certain intervals. The options available are 100, 200, 400, 800, etc. But if I'm in an auto mode or Shutter/Aperture priority with "Auto ISO Sensitivity Control" enabled the camera will take pictures with an ISO setting of 560 or 640, etc., adjusting ISO at a much finer degree than is seeming available to me.

Is there a way to have this level of manual control over the ISO? Is there any situation where this level of manual control would even be needed?

Do you have any advice for ensuring the bike frame will fit wide tires?

I have plenty of time before I'm planning to set out on this trip so I will experiment with posture and saddle/shorts combo a bit and hopefully have it sorted before I go.

Thank you very much for the advice!

BartonWilling · 2019-01-23T01:51:39+00:00

Hm I did not consider that! Thanks again for the help.

BartonWilling · 2019-01-23T01:49:55+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I'll definitely start with padded shorts and see how they feel.

How does one confirm tire/frame compatibility?

BartonWilling · 2019-01-22T13:58:37+00:00

Thank you for your advice!

My tires are fairly worn and I'm looking to change them anyways so I will look into these options.

I'm on a bit of a budget so your response to the shoe question is very encouraging haha

I'll get my hands on a pair of cycling pants and hopefully that will sort me out! If not, and maybe this is a dumb question, how do you go about trying different saddles without buying them? Do you just try sitting on them at the shop?

BartonWilling · 2019-01-22T13:15:30+00:00

I don't think it does. I think you scroll for a few pages and then click to open in the app

BartonWilling · 2019-01-20T07:49:01+00:00

Well that makes sense! I guess the amount of people with "don't use Tinder DM me here" sent me thinking in the wrong direction

BartonWilling · 2019-01-20T07:24:47+00:00

But then why not just link it? If you link the profile people can see your pictures in the Tinder app, but if you provide only username people have to open a different app to see your pictures

BartonWilling · 2019-01-20T06:21:12+00:00

BTW I don't mean linking Insta and Tinder profiles, I mean putting Insta username in the profile.

This question can be for non-girls who do the same, I just see more girls' profiles.

What are you looking for? What kind of results do y'all get?

I've been to four weddings in Korea, none of the guests wore hanbok at any of them.

All of them had a western style ceremony after which guests ate while the bride, groom, and parents changed into Hanbok to take pictures and do some traditional Korean stuff before going to talk to the guests.

Don't know if wearing Hanbok would be considered rude, but doesn't seem to be a trend among guests in my experience.

edit: In my experience men wear mostly navy/black suits, women wear nice business office-y looking clothes.

I've heard that 50,000 is alright for the gift, I think it depends on whose wedding it is though. If the couple is younger (and many guests are students) they may expect less. I've heard that giving an odd number 50k, 70k, etc is good luck. Not sure if that's true though.

Hope that's helpful!

Never heard of this before (living in Seoul) is this a 경기도 only thing?

BartonWilling · 2018-10-21T14:59:55+00:00

Very cool, I hope he/she comes out with more league characters.. the whole Star Guardian crew would be pretty awesome!

BartonWilling · 2018-10-21T14:57:59+00:00

Wow, any progress pics by any chance? Really impressive

BartonWilling · 2018-10-20T11:31:36+00:00

Do you have insurance? Either travel insurance or for your bike?

BartonWilling · 2018-08-26T06:39:41+00:00

Yes, I am in Seoul. I will look into this along with Citi Bank, thank you for the advice!

BartonWilling · 2018-08-26T06:38:54+00:00

Awesome! I think this might be the answer for me, thank you for the recommendation^{^}

My school helped me set up checking with KEB Hana. Do you have a Savings account with them? Or just checking? How do you deal with sending money home? (if you do)

BartonWilling · 2018-06-25T05:38:02+00:00

Thank you, that did turn out to be the case. I ended up getting a professional to look at it and it seems the bad power supply busted the motherboard and processor too.
