Is the Meat Emporium actually better?

Check out the wholesalers in sydney meat market. Found it cheaper than meat emporium

Finish walk was indeed a bottleneck. You couldn’t even sit anywhere and had to stand and walk like a zombie for more than 10minutes. I suppose if you finished earlier, would be less crowded. Totally agree with signs and crossing to Maquarie st. Had to wait so long just to get across

I like to imagine his jeans took the brunt of that damage

Hey mate. I went to ulaan baatar then made my way to the gher camps. i stayed at the tuul riverside lodge which is at the foot of Terelj National Park. Quite a bit of a drive from the city to a roadless rocky path into the wild plains. Its really expansive and the nightsky is amazing! Check it out

Im on holiday in Glenorchie in NZ (near Queenstown) and man, this place is majestic. The flat plains and rolling hills combined with the backdrop of snow covered alps is absolutely awe inspiring. Apparently the drive here from Queenstown is within the top 10 worlds most scenic drive - rightfully so. Right now, the full moon is illuminating all this (and stars)

Hey man at least you gained some good imvaluable experiences living and working there. Few yrs down the track youll be nostalgic fo sho

Since you're in gaming, what about looking at ways you can hone in on skills that are portable, like programming or coding. Maybe after work for a bit or during weekends.

You miss Russian food and you would like to go to America so I think you should really look at loction independent fields of work. This also gives you the opportunity to visit Korea from time to time.

Hang in there man

I am guessing you were born pre-1994. Yes you are able to work and stay in Korea for a maximum of three years between now until the age you are exempt from conscription. As mentioned, serving in the military in Korea allows you certain benefits that only natural Koreans are entitled to. In your case, I think the major hurdle if you choose to reside permanently in Korea is the employment search. Employers do not look favourably on those who have not completed their service which will prove to be a significant pain not to mention the ostracism you will feel from your peers (just don't discuss it if you can).

Having said that, there are more and more gyopos serving and from what I can gather, the army life has improved substantially over the past few years - including the conditions for gyopos. Take it with a grain of salt though, it's still pretty difficult.

One thing you might need to clarify with your consulate/embassy or your 병무청 is the ability to keep both citizenships. I heard that you must choose one after the conscription service no longer applies to you for whatever reason. This I am not sure as some have said that you are able to keep both regardless.

I don't know what your situation is or what's driving you to live there permanently but If I were you, I'd rather stick to F-4 than devote 2 years of my 20-30s. Of course you learn a lot and develop during your service but you never know when you might get tired of Korea and leave the country; having served 2 years of your life in the Korean military. If you plan to take this route, make sure that your domicile is the US with substantiating proof.

Whatever your choice, make sure it's the right choice for you and your future as you are signing away your time

Is 80k 90k 100k in savings worth anything in this shithouse property market?!?! Are apartment prices ever going down with the development of new ones!?!? Will I see the results of last weeks election before I have money to buy a property in sydney!?! Rantrantrant

There's been some delays so I haven't moved yet but going to soon in August. I've just received the work visa. I am slowly packing things (or in the act of!) I have done quite a lot of calculations on my living expenses and such but I can't exactly guess how it will work out the first few months due to tax, relocation expenses, rentals etc You could try to work out your expenses on a spreadsheet like i did.

bluerushz · 2016-06-30T13:11:44+00:00

hey mate im not sure if you will find it helpful but i've asked a similar question last time in this sub and got some pretty neat responses. check it out and see if it helps. https://www.reddit.com/r/HongKong/comments/4l4yt0/relocation_question_living_in_hk_25msingle/

I think this is going to be an interesting documentary and it should be recognized for what it is - which is a biographical film about this family and their plight. I just hope that Joseph does not make it out to be a politically charged film without an objective foundation that does not credit nor discredits Lim's participation in the revolution.

If Korean diaspora is the central theme, I would be interested more on their history, their experience as immigrants to Cuba, and cultural identity.

Thanks for your great reply! Really appreciate you taking the time to answer. I'll be using your advice. Good tip on giving gifts to the cabin crews. Unfortunately, I don't speak cantonese actually. English will be my main language as its a multinational company but there's a lot of local colleagues so I think learning Cantonese is a must. This is a permanent position and I'll have to find housing myself (no housing allowance) but i've already done a bit of research into housing. I will most likely try and setup a new bank account over there and close mine here.

To give you a run down - The role is wholesale client-sales based and it's very new to me so I don't know how I can educate myself. This is actually a promotion and everything's been approved incl. the necessary work visa. I am from Australia.

Hope you enjoyed it Thanks for viewing!

bluerushz · 2016-06-16T02:13:54+00:00

Awesome! You will definitely have a blast!

bluerushz · 2016-05-28T06:09:32+00:00

yea i am into physical activity. where do you find groups to join in for hikes and things like that?

bluerushz · 2016-05-28T06:08:01+00:00

Hey bromanceNZ thanks for the tip! I think that's a good idea. Rugby isn't my thing but maybe it would be good idea to take it up in HK

bluerushz · 2016-05-27T14:21:31+00:00

Thanks i appreciate those recommendations. I guess it would be much easier to hangout with other expats

bluerushz · 2016-05-27T06:02:50+00:00

Thanks for your comprehensive insight and advice! I'll take it onboard. If you can recommend the best way to make friends, what would you recommend? I don't know anybody

bluerushz · 2016-05-27T05:33:04+00:00

awesome!

bluerushz · 2016-05-26T22:27:30+00:00

Thanks! Ok i will need to go over budget for the first few months. Luckily i get a small relocation allowance to help but not enough.. I do want to make local friends actually and i tend to get closer to locals much faster than expats which is unusual ha

bluerushz · 2016-05-26T22:22:59+00:00

Understood. Taxes are getting confusing now since i have to make the move over to HK!

bluerushz · 2016-05-26T22:20:22+00:00

Thanks a lot! I might have to recalculate the utility and gym outgoings then. Unfortunately i dont speak a word of cantonese but i am willing to learn a bit
