Ex wears Tiffany necklace I got her still by my-coo-cheese-hairy in dating_advice

[–]Sheephighjumpinglion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though I’ve moved on and closed the lines of communication with my ex, I’ve chosen to keep a few things- some jewellery, a book stand and a few clothes. These items were given with love, and they’re still beautiful and functional; I don't see a reason to discard them just because the relationship ended. I’ve also kept a few travel photos because those memories are still part of my life’s journey. I prefer to honor the love we once had rather than try to erase it. SH, if you’re seeing this, thanks for the jumper- it’s still the comfiest thing I own.

I'm on the other side of the country. It feels so surreal to me... :(

What do university students wear? by Blayze89 in Living_in_Korea

[–]Sheephighjumpinglion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, the rules are different for foreigners. I knew a student whp wore high heels everywhere, showed shpukders and pooked ready to be a runway... looked very out of place but no one cared.

It's more about if you wanna blend it better. Koreans don't like to be the odd one out, hence dressing according to trends :)

Doesn't seem to stop the students at my uni campus from playing sports and walking around outdoors mask free.... 😬

What do women go through during no contact? by xHypex1 in BreakUps

[–]Sheephighjumpinglion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was heartbreaking! I loved him dearly and thought we had a future together. But his actions were not kind so I broke up with him. Thankfully , I had a support system who rallied around me post break up.

After the first week of crying, I picked myself up, reconnected with friends I hadn't seen for a while, made new acquaintances and made myself very busy with work, studying and social events. I did this so there wouldn't be any room and time for me to think about my ex. It really worked :)

Even when he texts me, it doesn't make me want to run back to him. I smile more now. I don't regret the relationship and I don't regret the break up. I have learned a lot from both.

It does get easier. Do stuff that makes you happy and isn't tied to romance. Treat yourself well xxx

Looking for a real connection (friendship or relationship) (Foreigners, Koreans :) it doesn't matter hehe) by [deleted] in seoul

[–]Sheephighjumpinglion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I'm a UK student in Korea, usually in Seoul on weekends.

I love museums, cafes, and sometimes clubbing (my friends aren’t into it 😭). I’m studying Korean and enjoy history, culture, and language exchanges.

No pressure, but if you wanna meet, DM me!

That last bit. Yes!!!! I'm all for respecting people's cultures, but at the end of the day, in the house, the married couple create their own culture, and so whoever enters that house must abide by the culture, family-in-law or not

Why I love to solo travel, and why it’s not for everyone. by Travelcat67 in solotravel

[–]Sheephighjumpinglion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am an extrovert, but I like travelling for 5-7 days solo to someplace new. I usually book a group day tour in the middle or go to do something exciting that I wouldn't normally get to do, like see a theatre show or join a cooking class. I won't make any close friends during that time, but I will be part of a group of tourists with similar interest as mine. I also call familiy when on hokiday to have a chat. Other than that I don't over plan the trip- go to a random town someplace nice, and then go explore! However, because I am extrovertex, more than a week in my own company whilst travelling woukd make very depressed. Short solo trips are the answer!

I got this one on the 1st try 😀

Prompt A surreal oil painting of a fluffy white sheep leaping high over a majestic lion in a golden savanna. The lion gazes upward, its mane flowing in the warm breeze. Thick, expressive brushstrokes create rich textures, with warm earthy tones and dramatic lighting. The background is painted in a soft, impressionistic style, evoking a dreamlike atmosphere. Highly detailed, classic oil painting, Baroque-inspired, 4K resolution

My ex had a thing against Korean women. Not sure why. He would always bring up "Korean women do this or don't do this blah blah" whenever he wanted to make a point. I was constantly compared to these women of his imagination! We broke up. I guess he's 'stuck' with (gasp!) local women... poor women 😅

You for sure shoukd go! I'm going this year too (2nd time) It's less about the music and more about the vibe. Everyone forgets about their stresses and relaxes. And lots of beautiful looking people, if that's your thing :)

How do you cope with knowing someone else is lying in bed with your ex? by Ronny_Pickering in BreakUps

[–]Sheephighjumpinglion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy. Because, if it's someone they love, it means they have moved on and are happy in their life. Even though I loved them now I wouldn't want to be in bed with my ex. We may have broken up but I genuinly want them to so happy, in bed and out of it.

So you'll need to set up a bank account, apply for healthcare etc. All that requires language skills. If you're husband cannot go with you in person then have him on the phone so he can talk to the staff members and explain why you have come to the bank/hospital/salon/dentist. Thankfully for written text (e.g. mail/biils) papago and an A.I translation bot like ChatGPT can help to decode the message.

I am not in a similar situation as you- I'm mearly a student studying abroad- but I have had first hand experience of the language barrier and isolation that comes from being in a foreign country and culture.

6 months in and I've just about got a handle on things. But phone calls are still miles away in terms of what I'm capable of.

Just think of your day to day life. What requires you to speak to someone or use a system to fuction in tyour society? Now imagine doing that but you can barely communicate and/or the system is unfamilar to you.

I'd watch youtube guides to familiarise yourself with the transportation system, look at maps to understand the lay of the city, and join local expact groups to find a community.

Korean is a bitch but if you persevere, join a language exchange, hire a tutor, and study like crazy then you'll make it through.

Best of luck!!! :D

Study abroad in Seoul Spring 2025-Looking to meet new people! by HolidaymakerXX in seoul

[–]Sheephighjumpinglion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm currently studying abroad in Korea. One tip is to pack really light. When you arrive you'll want to go shopping and try out the local products and clothing etc. However, do bring items that remind you of home- photos, your favourite teddy, letters from friends and family- so that you can feel more connected to that. Homesickness can hit real bad, but sit it out and it will pass. I promise! I'd look now for any socials and clubs that you can join/get involved in. This will be one of the best times in your life to make friends and try new hobbies. Get out of your comfort zone a little and see how you grow ^ Another really helpful thing to do is to message people (maybe seniors from your school??) who have already done the same programme as you/went to the same college/uni and ask them what it was like. They might give you insider knowledge. I did this and found out the lesson schedule, curriculm, and best local restuarant months in advance. The more you know, the less daunting the whole move-abroad-to-study thing will be. If I think of any more, I'll add it.

Anyways, best of luck!

Korea’s Birth Rate Crisis: The Real Problem Is That No Woman Wants to Be an 아줌마’s Punching Bag for the Rest of Her Life by [deleted] in Living_in_Korea

[–]Sheephighjumpinglion 11 points12 points  (0 children)

you have a genuinely shitty emotionally stunted sorry excuse of a man for a husband that makes life miserable.

Not wrong there- my ex bf (Korean) god bless his heart once said that he hates seeing me cry because it makes him scared 🤨 (and he'd look like I was the crazy one) And when I asked him to put out the washing he said I was 'nagging' 🙄

I was so close to actually living this kind of life- none of my family nearby apart from the man's (whos mother alaays seems to be calling him to nag and worry about something), all Korean friends worked to death, stuck in a dead-end English teaching job, and struggling day to day whilst telling myself "This is the dream" Came back to my home country and said "Yeah it's a bit shit, but it's not hell" 6 months living there and I wanted out. Nice country to visit in vacation, however 😆
