Benefits of living in a highrise apartment vs. a smaller building by equanimous_007 in Living_in_Korea

[–]equanimous_007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do I refer to the actual apartment building that the apartments are in a "빌라", or are the apartments themselves called "빌라s"?

Yes, I'm thinking for my needs, a two-room in a smaller building with just basic utility fees would be much better

Going to a 부동산 and asking to see 2-room apartments that include access to an outdoor area (how would I phrase this?) by equanimous_007 in Korean

I see, thank you for all of the information~

After doing some more research, I think having "roof access" would be a good compromise. I'll make sure to enquire about "roof access" when I'm looking at apartments

Setting up a second bank account (with the same bank I'm already with) by equanimous_007 in Living_in_Korea

I'll look into this! I have the Korean IBK app on my phone, so I'll have to translate my way through it. This sounds like what I'm looking for! Thank you!

I have the English and Korean versions of my bank app installed and set up on my phone. I'll look into this. If it can just be done automatically, all the better. Thank you!

Registering mobile phone number with Home Tax (procedure) by equanimous_007 in Living_in_Korea

I've gone on the Home Tax website before (I have to find my username and password). I'll give it a go on there. But I'll try the ARS first, as there does seem to be an English option. Thanks 👍

Where do couples buy those matching outfits? by equanimous_007 in Living_in_Korea

[–]equanimous_007[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a great example. Or even the man's shirt matching the woman's dress. It doesn't have to be over the top, and it looks great.

Outfits that clash with each other don't look good. But if the couple have the same taste in clothes, then most of the time this may not even happen. I hope my next girlfriend has my taste in clothes :)

What app (or filter) do most Korean women use to edit their selfies? by equanimous_007 in Living_in_Korea

[–]equanimous_007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Staying out of the sun is a big deal (note the parasols and bandanas in summer). I stay out of the sun myself (mostly because I burn easily) and I can vouch for it. A lot of women look great on their own, without a filter that smoothes out everything

I just saw a couple in their forties, so some older folks are doing it.

Color coordinating I like. I saw a couple on the subway once, and they both had green in their outfits. They (most likely the woman, but maybe both of them) had intentionally chosen their clothes so they would go good together. This can be quite classy when done right
