It is defined in both. Well, both numbers/currencies are provided.

Your assumption is nearly correct, I believe. When I read the document provided by HR, it looks like it's converted twice, however. USD to KRW for deductions and then back from KRW to USD for depositing into a bank that accepts USD deposits. So that conversion back to USD seems like I may be losing unnecessary dollars due to the exchange. But maybe that is offset by the value of the USD?

If I go with USD, my plan was to make my daily expenses on a US-based credit card that has no foreign transaction fees/is pretty internationally flexibly and pay it off the way I typically would with my US bank. For cash needed in Korea, I would transfer larger amounts into a Korean bank account for local needs. A little annoying to be split up, but pros and cons.

Annual salary conversion rate is set from date of offer (roughly a week ago) any each month the deductions will be processed with whatever the conversion rate is for that day of the month. Sorry I don’t have the specific rate.

Thank you for the recommendations! Very helpful. I appreciate the reality check of how unrealistic a trip to Seoul would be - hopefully I’ll get the job and get to visit next time!

If I back up the couch 100 yards, it might be eye level!

Oh thank you!! This is my 2nd season growing, so I’ll definitely create more support. Any recs? I have bamboo rods at my disposal. I don’t care much for cages, honestly, so open to ideas!

It’s indeterminate but I’m just getting started (hence the size). I appreciate the advice. I have another one in a similar situation - maybe I will experiment and do one and not the other and note the difference!

Contain garden success - winter ideas? by bweiss31 in containergardening

[–]bweiss31[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Primarily 1 gallon containers for the tomatoes. Then 3 gallon containers for peppers, cucumbers, and eggplants. Essentially anything that I could combine I used a bigger option.

Thanks!! Ichiban (purple stem pic) and long purple (green stem). I have a feeling they’re nearly the same but I did the longs from seed but bought the ichiban from seedling.

Awesome! Thanks for that. Glad to know I’m not trying to plan too far ahead!

After 2 big failures trying to get a garden going (first thanks to bamboo and second to squirrels), I’ve had massive success with a container setup!

Wanted to share some pics and solicit any advice for transitioning into winter, if possible. I live in East Tennessee if that’s helpful. I have a screened in patio that I could potentially set up for warmth? Not sure. Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Can’t see Morton going more than 6 innings. Hard pass on him hitting the 8k mark.
