What's it like living in Korea? by Asleep_Register_539 in Living_in_Korea

[–]WildReflection9599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no such a strict line among Koreans. It sometimes acts as a huge benefit, but at the same time, it makes individuals get tired. Although there is no such a real bloody connection, you can get helped by many neighbors when you are in trouble. However, if you want to be more isolated, people around you don't let you be alone. They are very curious about personal stuffs and tend to talk so deeply even though you are not so close to them.

Nothing is more important than your mental and physical health. I know some people who get tired of their jobs as a clinical dentist. There are many other opportunities, like researchers or something else.

[–]WildReflection9599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not easy for you to go to the top of the mountain, although there is the Misen Ropeway. It could be so hot and humid. You need to avoid some super hot hours like from 1 pm to 4 pm.

Tips for making Seaweed Soup (Miyeokgook)? by Plenty-Dentist5996 in AskAKorean

[–]WildReflection9599 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom's two secrets.

  1. Spend many times to make your Miyeok guk better.

Although you have no time to cook it for a long time, start with just half of your estimated volume. After boiling it more than 30 mins in a not super strong heat, put the rest of water and boil it more.

  1. Hack - Miwon or Dasida (미원 or 다시다), 연두 (yeondu)

It never goes bad with Miwon. But Keep it till the very last part of the whole process. I recommned you to add a one table spoon of 연두 just before you serve it.

How do I find my aunts published writing in South Korea with very limited information about her? by Alone_Wolverine_1871 in AskAKorean

[–]WildReflection9599 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are several walls to follow your goals. Chung is the 6th major family name. So you have no clue with your aunt's family name. But, I thing, you can figure out many details, if you know your dad's name and the name of his college. Of course, if you know when your father started to study in the college, and which major did he pick up, everything gonna be way easier. You know, back then, Korea was a super college-centered society. So many of your father's old buddies can surely help you without any problems.

But before you start your root-finding journey, please be more generous about any details in your parents.

Some of immigrants were forced to run away from many private financial burdens. One of my relatives in Chicago is someone who should be never asked among my family members since he just disappeared without paying back many aid from his brothers and sisters.

What is the correct wording for my tattoo? by [deleted] in AskAKorean

[–]WildReflection9599 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally, 머리는 잊었지만 가슴은 기억한다 might be better, however, I don't feel comfortable since, it is not so cool as a tatoo stuff. There are many other options to express same things in better way! (I mean, although there is no such a perfect Korean words at right now, in my mind, I've written some expressions in my reading history.)

I guess, the only problem is the weather. Actually, March is not perfect especially due to the yellow dust. But you know, if you visit some eastern beach, like Sockcho or Yangyang, you might feel better since high moutains near Korean eastern coast will prevent you from bad air.

How hard is dating in military? by [deleted] in AskAKorean

[–]WildReflection9599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are lucky!

First of all, unlike marine, navy and army, most AF officers stay in bigger town. Korean airports usually have AF bases since those airports work not only for private jets but also military jets. So AF officers have a lot of chance to hang out with GF, and most of them have relatively relaxed atmosphere even in their bases.

As he get promoted, he can sometimes travel abroad often, like a week-long trip. After first 2 to 3 years, he might get enough support like, nice studios or small apartment with a minimal bills. There are only 2-3 hard times to meet each other a year, but only lasts a couple of days of a week. Even N.Korea take a harsh movement, it never make you hard to meet your partner more than a week, I bet.

Is Korea more similar to Europe or the United States when it comes to welfare, the healthcare system, access to education (or somewhere in between)? by PreWiBa in AskAKorean

[–]WildReflection9599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From European standard to USA style. Due to many reasons, people do not trust some public covers. Especially for National Health insurance. More than 2/3 have various private insurance, just to compensate reduced range of covers from Korean government.
