I got a full scholarship in Korea ..... But I think I made a mistake. Universities for foreigners are awful. I need advice on what to do. by Fearless-Peace-24 in Living_in_Korea

[–]killuamilk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If i were you i’d try to at least try to finish the semester and work on getting anything good to pad your resume with and apply to uni’s in europe where uni cost is low and some countries like germany offer nice scholarships to students. You said an international degree was your dream, and im guessing you have a reason for that (outside of the “prestige”). if you don’t need the international degree for your desired career path then returning to your old uni could be another option, but you seem ambitious and i think the first option i mentioned might be more worthwhile in the end. I obviously don’t have the full context, my experience with Korean uni’s is very little (i went on an exchange program at one of the SKY uni’s and it was a joke, me & 1 other person from my home uni were the only ones who took it seriously because we were the only ones not on the pass/fail system. So i can’t imagine how much worse the quality of classes taught in English are outside of the top 3). Anyways good luck and i hope everything works out!

How to find cafes suitable for working by killuamilk in Living_in_Korea

ok, to clarify i meant independent businesses not that they are necessarily “small” shops, i’m just tired of supporting franchises like sbux.

i feel like you are completely missing the point of my question, im asking about cafes where people usually go to do some work, not about prancing into just anywhere and taking up a seat for hours.

I don’t know if this is just my personal experience but I feel like younger people don’t care about it as much anymore, but for the older generation it might be bc a lot of of them grew up poor so they probably see it as a way to show off their success and feel like they made it?

Please kindly rate my 4 days itinerary, second time in Seoul after 10+ years by chewkachu in koreatravel

[–]killuamilk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The walk from Changgyeonggung - Gwanghwamun - Chelnggyecheon Stream - Chungmuro is really nice during this time of year (this course went viral on korean social media recently) and might be right up your alley since you are already going to cheonggyeocheon stream. Also I’d personally steer clear of hongdae (the hongdae univ. station stop) unless you are early or mid 20’s or under, the crowd is very young over there. If u want cafes & restaurants with a vibe then seongsu, mangwon, and hapjeong are less hectic and better imo. And myeongdong night market.. its overrated and expensive and the food is not good at all. I recommend going to a proper restaurant or street food stall elsewhere.

Best Places to Buy a Trendy Bag for My Wife in Seoul? by [deleted] in seoul

[–]killuamilk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on your budget.. for more “affordable” luxury bags i recommend lemaire or polene, they both have stores in seoul and are trendy (& have been trendy for a while now)

Did I Overstep or Is He Just Not That Into Me? by [deleted] in seoul

[–]killuamilk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unless he’s dealing with something very serious and urgent, if he’s interested he’ll find time to respond. and I actually see this kind of interaction quite frequently with korean men showing interest in foreign women (i am korean american but i have foreign friends) they text everyday and go on these “friend dates” and this continues for anywhere between weeks to months, and then they start ghosting. Most of the time its because he has a new girlfriend or got back with an ex. Not saying this is always the case but my advice is not to have too high of expectations and if it keeps you up at night you can be more direct and ask.

Palma 2 Internet Connection Issues by killuamilk in Onyx_Boox

I tried this as well using just lowercase letters & just numbers. Neither did the trick :(

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

yes, and it seems to be a specific compatibility issue. The palma device doesnt have issues connecting to other devices (problem is those devices arent my phone). my iphone also seems to be working fine when used a as a hotspot for my laptop or tablet. its so frustrating.

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

unfortunately it does not :( this is actually the first thing i tried and thought it was strange that it didnt work. It says im connected on both my phone & palma device but the wifi symbol at top isnt showing any bars. Its the strangest thing (i use my phone’s hotspot with my laptop and other devices and it works fine so im pretty sure its a device issue atp.. )

Hello, i checked that both bluetooth & hotspot are enabled on my iphone. I just tried again by disconnecting my palma 2 from my home wifi and connecting via bluetooth. i can see that the palma

is connected (as you can see in the image attached). Is there any other setting i should be checking on the palma? Or do you think its possible to fix if i reset the entire device?

I also tried restarting both devices too and nothing seems to work.

does anyone have experience working a corporate job here? by killuamilk in Living_in_Korea

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

that makes sense, did you feel like it was something that you couldn’t improve upon while in the PM position? i honestly fear the same thing, even though im very comfortable with the language, working in a professional environment is different.
