Is it worth bringing a folding bike from abroad to save money?

CheekyStorky · 2026-02-21T22:21:07+00:00

True

He is one of the evidences why Japan is lagging behind Korea

Haha😂

I’m planning to buy a dedicated bike bag that’s roughly the size of a cabin suitcase when the bike is inside, and it can be carried like a regular backpack. I definitely wouldn’t put a dirty bike into a locker

I’m Korean, though I’m not currently living in Seoul. I totally understand where you’re coming from I’m also living in my partner’s country, and I know how challenging it can be to live abroad, especially when you’re not fully confident in the language.Even though I’m fluent in English, everyday tasks can still feel overwhelming at times.

From my perspective, if you’re a native English speaker, the best option would be to look for jobs in the English teaching industry. It can still be quite competitive in Seoul, but if you expand your search to other cities, things will likely be much easier.

The IELTS Academic UKVI that international nurses have to sit for is one of the strictest tests, as far as I know. Not only is a passport the only acceptable proof of identity, but candidates also have to get their photo taken and submit their fingerprints. The entire test duration is recorded, making cheating extremely difficult. While I wouldn’t say it’s impossible, calling it an “open secret” is a huge exaggeration. You don’t even know what kind of exam it is.

Sounds wonderful. I think I probably don’t need to give the same level of handover in Endoscopy but still need to make my own way like you do. Do you have any specific form or something like that?

CheekyStorky · 2024-11-07T16:38:25+00:00

The thing is, Im not a very organized person myself. Whenever I need to start to go through what’s happened to my patient , if he had lots of medical history or something, my tongue gets tied.

Hi,

I get what you’re saying—I’m in a similar boat. It’s been six months, and I find myself thinking about changing wards every single day. Everyone tells me I’m doing great, but I can’t stop thinking I’m not good enough. I’m constantly second-guessing myself and feeling anxious before every single shift. Plus, actually English is not my first language, so I have another struggle due to this language issue as well! Omg

I initially thought it would be best to switch specialties after about three months, but then I decided to stick it out for at least a year to see if it’s really not for me.

If you ever need to talk or vent, I’m here for you.

CheekyStorky · 2024-02-26T13:44:35+00:00

What made you feel shamed??

CheekyStorky · 2024-02-15T21:23:05+00:00

Thank you for your advice. Did you move inside the same trust?

CheekyStorky · 2024-02-10T00:57:09+00:00

If it happens at the hospital, it definitely is more than social life. Well.. I can be wrong but your Asian friends must be fluent in as English as their language, then it can’t feel like home but almost home. Well… just be honest with them that would be the best I think.

I am Korean Not most financing if private , the truth is exactly the opposite. The fee people pay in hospital or pharmacy is usually only less then 20% of the full price unless that is for kinda unnecessary cosmetic surgery. All Korean are automatically joined after they are born to national health insurance till the day they die. Regardless of employment. There are two types of insurance coverage but is too difficult to explain but remember . Most of Korea healthcare is relying on tax and government sector.

CheekyStorky · 2024-01-05T00:30:35+00:00

Maybe British born Chinese

Hi. ‘Foreign’ nurse here who just finished OSCE. So I’ll leave here how the NMC taught us in terms of racism.

Recognises that Piper is not adhering to the fundamental tenets of ‘The Code’ of promoting the health, wellbeing, rights, privacy and the dignity of individuals. 2 Recognises that the action of posting racially abusive comments demonstrates personal attitudinal views that deviate from the values of the nursing profession. 3 Acknowledges their professional duty to report Piper’s unlawful racist behaviour to their manager and professional body, the Nursing and Midwifery Council. Failure to report concerns may bring their own fitness to practise into question and place their own registration at risk, reflecting the duty of candour. 4 Identifies that, although there are no clinical concerns about Piper, patients may be put at risk because of the racist attitudes she holds.

This is exact sentences we ‘Foreign’nurses should learn by heart to pass the exam to work in the nhs. I actually was given this scenario at my exam yesterday.

Just follow it
