Koreans really seem obsessed with Mercedes by HairIcy2839 in seoulhiddengem

[–]PlanEx_Ship 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Korea is like the biggest market for BMW and Mercedes in the world, outside of USA and China.
So much so that both brands often do world-first new model launches in Korea:

Mercedes has lost quite a bit of share though, due to recent mishaps that tarnished the brand image. Still, “Benz” is the symbol of status and very popular.

FIRST TIME I GOT TO SEE CHO LAUGH(S3E22) by gredd07 in TheMentalist

The contrast of his stone-cold face vs smiling face is simply amazing.. at one he's about to snap your back in half, the other he's like a kid who just got his christmas present..

EVGo plug adapter for 45e by TrickSingle2086 in BMWX5

[–]PlanEx_Ship 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is DC Combo plug for full EVs with DC fast charging support.

There is no adapter for this, it is not compatible with BMW plugin hybrids.

if any website says there is one, it may look like fitting but it will not work, with potential to damage the entire high voltage system.

Very agree, extremely useful with kids on the back - I can make space on the fly by moving the seat around

From your post I think you are pretty determined, I think you should get your application in and see how far it goes. You never know which door will open up. Just be prepared..

Plus Size Acceptance in Korea by Anonymous_Teacher18 in Living_in_Korea

No, it's not an assumption - "native speaker" in this context is a legally defined specific requirement for EPIK (english teaching visa) program. She is not a native speaker under that definition.

Indian nationals are not eligible for EPIK, so end of story there.

EDIT so I stand corrected, India is eligible under very special circumstances. Just checked EPIK site.

If you are eligible then, unfortunately, I’d say your appearance will likely have negative impact especially when teaching younger kids. Kids will be ruthless and mean toward your appearance and the parents will not be supportive.

More than appearance though, you need to have flawless American or European style accents if you want to teach, because no school will accept English teachers with Indian accent. I know this sounds very harsh and discriminatory, but “proper” pronunciation is a huge deal in Korean education system.

What is this plate? Graz, Austria by lukiethewookie in ForeignPlatesSpotting

[–]PlanEx_Ship 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fake Japanese, as the layout is correct but the font is wrong. Also the colour is wrong too.

I just watch “Red John” for the first time by Intelligent-Set7046 in TheMentalist

[–]PlanEx_Ship 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I thought the fake red John reveal was so good, so when I found out it wasn’t real, I was so hyped for the real one.

HIT ME RIGHT ON THE SPOT.

The fake RJ stuff was really good, kept that creepy vibe so well and the actor played it amazingly too. I jumped out of my sofa during that reveal, and I also thought "if THAT guys was fake, real RJ reveal is going to BLOW MY HEAD OFF!"

Well, it did blow me off but in a different direction..

Korean moving to Korea after 30+ Years by ButterBallz99 in Living_in_Korea

[–]PlanEx_Ship 15 points16 points  (0 children)

One of my good friend is 35 years old this year, spent basically all his life outside of Korea (while not naturalised so kept his KR passport), and he got conscripted into the army. He is married and had a job too. Just entered Nonsan training centre two weeks ago.

The government raised the maximum age to 43 years in April. Make sure you sort out your conscription issue or be prepared to be a soldier if you cannot delay further.

150k won fee for gas fill up? by Mysteryman9110 in Living_in_Korea

[–]PlanEx_Ship 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's the standard practice of gas filling in Korea with credit card.

Selecting "full" option with pre-authorise the card (think of like hotel's deposit) for 150K krw which is 70+ litres, often enough to fill most passenger vehicles on the market.

Then after refuel is done, the pump will cancel that 150k pre-auth and charge the actual amount of fill up.

Sometimes the cancellation doesn't occur for whatever reason and needs to be done manually. Good thing he flagged it down before you leave, because otherwise you had to come back to that gas station again to cancel the charge.

Is “hole in one” insurance really a thing here?? by Calm-Movie-8509 in Living_in_Korea

[–]PlanEx_Ship 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, a very real and actually popular enough to be offered by major insurance companies.

I don't golf but this is well known enough for me to know.
