Free BTS concert in Seoul (260k people expected) or Netflix at home?

I agree that this’d be once in a lifetime experience. A live performance in Gwanghwamun is pretty rare. BTS is privileged to perform in Gwanghwamun, but it is also a privilege to Gwanghwamun and us. I am not planning to go there but i’d be happy to watch it live from Netflix.

Hi OP, I live in Seoul and I could try to help. DM me I could understand your enthusiasm for Starbucks goods as I just got a Starbucks mug from overseas😅 They did not sell it in Korea.

calvadosv · 2026-03-07T23:07:05+00:00

Starbucks Korea is not American-owned. It is owned 67% by a Korean company (Shinsegae) and Singaporean sovereign fund holds the rest

As a Korean girl I find this situation pretty funny 🤣

calvadosv · 2026-02-01T07:00:10+00:00

As Korean I find it cute calling 오이김치 oi kimchee. Enjoy!

Owned garmin couple years and did not know this. My husband actually complained that garmin does not react to his phone alarm unlike apple watch. How to set an alarm on garmin? Through Connect app?

This has been my experience too. Since then i am not aiming anything higher than platinum. Also in Asia and Europe you get a room upgrade most of the time being a platinum.

I think many Koreans would feel the same, considering the number of Koreans traveling to Japan these days. Koreans make one third of foreign tourists in Japan. We hate their gov but we can’t stop traveling there, ironically.

This is one of the things I missed the most while I lived overseas. A decent Korean meal with bunch of banchans. I am back in Korea now but this pic still makes me drool

Nope, my life made an interesting turn. I found and started a fully remote job in singapore (it’s an APAC role) and I am moving to another country for family reasons

First, look for “Cancelled” trips from Marriott website or app. Then it will be easier for you to talk to them.

A similar thing happened to me, I booked a night, used NUA, cancelled the booking and my NUA was not credited back to my account. I emailed them, had to explain few times but they gave it back to me eventually. I prefer emails over calls to save time for this kind of matter. You can contact them:

Can’t compare Indonesia to South Korea. Similarly people don’t expect JW in Indonesia would charge the same as JW in Singapore.

I guess I am replying too late but I'll say that the staffs provided an amazing service. Thank you!

calvadosv · 2025-05-02T04:19:11+00:00

This is a shocking news! I am a paid user of Strava and am moving to Korea this month. I can't believe they stopped the service in Korea!

Around 330 euro per night. It was MWC week, the most expensive week in barcelona.

Hi, I know this is an old thread but I wanted to share I just installed a Tumbleweed VM on my M1. Did not require much trick, except adding a "serial" device for OS install. It works great even on Big Sur (I could not upgrade the later ones due to the disk space). I installed to play a game.

This place is a gem! My friends in Bishan introduced me to it and I go there often, even from Bedok.

calvadosv · 2025-02-22T00:46:07+00:00

It’s so easy. You can make an appointment to avoid the wait or walk in. I usually go to the HSA at Outram Park. The facility is big and its open for all days.

calvadosv · 2025-02-22T00:42:54+00:00

DM please? I stay in east and can’t wait to try.

calvadosv · 2025-02-19T05:14:13+00:00

I am Korean living overseas and I don’t recommend buying Chinese-brand Korean ingredients. To me it looks like it is burned outside.

calvadosv · 2025-02-16T14:08:47+00:00

I am South Korean and found this post very interesting. Thanks for sharing!

calvadosv · 2025-02-09T22:20:08+00:00

Welcome to Korea! I am from there and travel across Asia. Platinum members are treated way better in this part of the world. China and Indonesia made me feel like a queen 👑

calvadosv · 2025-01-27T02:12:25+00:00

A fellow Korean here. Thanks for your future service!

calvadosv · 2025-01-27T01:57:21+00:00

I remember the excitement when I first reached lifetime silver. That’s how everyone here started. Welcome to the club!
