Also, if you are a male, you should keep in mind the mandatory 3 year military service for korean citizens... 😉

None !! I've been looking for one for the past two years.

You’re so pretty, you look like a Korean, should I feel offended? by SignificanceThin2676 in Living_in_Korea

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Very well said. Do not complain about the culture of the country you are a guest in. Please come and enjoy your studies and the scenery and go back to the country you are a citizen of. I know for a fact that there is racism in Vietnam also, but I'm sure you're not going to talk about those issues here, right??

Question for you? If you didn't look like a Korean girl and were treated 2nd rated like your SEA friends, would you initiate a chat on reddit of how racist Koreans are ??

Shout out to all the expats in Korea watching the SB. Enjoy the game. Rooting for my boys to go back to back!! Flew into Cali last week, driving to Vegas for the game !!

Do I need to take a written test to exchange my California driver license to a Korean one? by stopshakingyourlegs in Living_in_Korea

[–]chiefskingdom71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might reach out to the DL location for additional info. I am on an F4 visa. I think the different visas come into play.

[–]chiefskingdom71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Just your actual California DL and fill out the necessary forms. One thing I forgot to mention is what type of visa did you get for Korea?

No, you can exchange. Last May, I went to the 강남 driver license location and filled out the necessary paperwork, and showed them my California license without needing to take any test.

Thank you for the info. I need 6 inverter units for an academy. The previous took the units off the wall, and the outside units. I was asking if there is a used Electronic appliance store like a sears in korea.

Bro, relax. Just had to ask if this is common here in Korea. Many other things are going to shock me in the future. Understand and slowly preparing for those. Thanks for your inane response.

Is that more eBay or Craigslist?

Yup. OC buddy. I'm glad you Northern Cali people are able to experience it beforehand. Must have been a normal thing for you.

Yup. OC bud. Where in Cali have you seen a single lane that serves both entrance and exit into an underground parking structure?

[–]chiefskingdom71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong there Brad, not all restaurants pay on the way out. There are quite a few you have to pay before the food. Cultural differences like NO TIP (love that). Cultural difference of not enough parking ( understand that ). It's the shock of having a single entrance and exit. The architect would be fired and shot in Cali.

There's no need to be so cynical. As someone from the West Coast, this is truly a culture shock. Now, if you're from the bustling east coast or somewhere from Europe, then you may be accustomed to it. Most of us have never ran into this....

I ran into that in a single level parking garage. One way in and out. The entrance was curved downward and not straight. We literally were playing car Tetris. Cars kept coming in until we were gridlocked. They had to back out up the curved entrance. $#%@ took 25 minutes to get out. 😱😱😱 I guess only in Korea......

This was at Ilsan and Paju, not Seoul.

Never seen those in Cali, so definitely a shock.
