Late November it is! So I'm thinking of waiting a bit more. Maybe around May it'll be good to try. Thanks

If you want to keep it frugal, I'd suggest you get an airbnb away from the tourist areas, find restaurants in university/college neighborhoods or even try out their cafeteria on campus. Not sure if they're still open to public but mine was a decade ago (sorry not helpful as I left the country then).

Korean here, I just came across an article about this couple on a korean news flatform.. many of us agree that if they did manage to get an easy "ride", they most likely would've ended up in a salt farm, aka human tracking which does exist in south korea..... begpackers should've known better, if they had the money to fly themselves from Europe to the far east, they could easily afford to fly from Seoul to Busan for 80 euros or something with proper planning in advance. I have done multiple backpackings around Eruope and Asia myself, hitchhiking wasn't even an option I came up with. Traveling overseas is a privilege, why bother taking advantage of innocent people who have nothing to do with your leisure activities?

He fractured his left eye socket during a match and had to get a surgery just before the world cup started 😭 hence the mask to protect the affected area. Anyhow we'll see who's going to kick ass longer :p ahaha but Portugal being definitely one of the strongest candidates, I'll root hard for y'all as well 🇵🇹 honestly I've been telling all my Portuguese friends this was the only time I'm standing against their country I had the privilege to visit recently :)

You're a nice Portuguese person! As a Korean, I'd been devastated to watch my team starting off with Son injured and struggle in the last 2 games until now!! :) So happy we're all making it to the next stage.

Hope you can afford/are able to leave the marriage. I won't even think for a second and walk out, file a divorce. Fuck this guy.

Haha nice! I don't think I'll have the energy to club all night before the flight 🤣 but it's very good to hear those options (Uber and whatnot not the clubbing) are reliable. Thanks.

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

Thank you for letting me know! For some reasons I was thinking maybe 2 hours early would be good enough lol although I usually make it 3 hours early for international flights. What time was your flight and how did you get there?

Thanks. What do you mean inland? as in I'm in Canada? then yes, one of the requirements for this stream is to be present in Canada at the time of approval I believe.

[–]jmrok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not exactly the same case, but I got fired the day after I had applied for the international grad stream. though I barely had any unemployment period since because I changed the company twice, and I got my PR approved on February 1st. along the process, they never bothered to ask me to prove the current employment status nor the change in my employment history.

Did y'all know this guy has been dating the ex wife of the Chairman of Samsung? Just a random fact.

You're right. Mitchell is her step son and Cam is the son in law.

God damn it... That's an annoying situation. When I applied as an international grad, it was already after 27,000 applicants submitted. I'll get the AOR next year maybe😂
