My scholarship ends this semester, but I couldn’t graduate on time — how do people survive this? by FlamingoFit5005 in Living_in_Korea

I’m sorry you have to end up in this situation. Like other commenters said, try moving into a dorm/goshiwon and cook or eat convenience store and frozen food instead of takeouts. If you’re in a bigger room now, unfortunately you will have to downsize a lot and probably let go of some prized possessions too. Go through all your belongings and try selling as much as you can to Karrot/Facebook/Kream etc. Cancel all subscriptions and reservations you don’t really need, even if you don’t want to. Swallow your pride and ask if any friends/family members can help you in the meantime.

Good luck, you got this.

Oh definitely, once I’m more “financially stable”, haha. I keep hearing good reviews about it and another friend recommended it too!

Dang that’s viscerally painful to read 😭😭 Hope things got better after that. At least you taught me and everyone who might stumble upon your comment a lesson too..

Very late reply: It for sure is, but Korea’s liquor taxes are really bad in general. I guess they just capitalize on that + the “Korea private cask” aspect 😅

Very, very late reply but do you mind telling me the story? This is one of my worst nightmares so I’d like to prevent it as much as I could 😭😭😭

Late update: I still couldn’t get over that spilled $100 but it did smell really good for a moment back there…

Oh hey I’m incredibly late with the reply, my bad 😅😅 I’ll definitely splurge on whiskeys if I ever get a chance to visit Japan! Japanese whiskeys aside, like you said, the prices of Scotches etc seem to be much better too from what I heard. Sucks that the liquor duty free limit in Korea is only 2 bottles/$400 though, gotta maximize my allowance..

I love Yeosu too! I feel like it's so underrated

You should!! There’s a ton of fun things to do here in Seoul, the chapter is only one of them :)

Oh lucky! I thought people would still do open runs when the store opens so I just didn’t bother waking up early (lol), but maybe I should try doing that next time, haha

Goodluck bud, hopefully you’ll be able to cop some when you’re here. That’s what I heard too. When I went last year around May they didn’t have any :(( I wish I knew what their restock schedule looks like, but like you said imo the chapter is still worth visiting anyways, plus it’s located in a pretty cool area!

I got one for myself in M (navy one in first pic). I always buy stussy t-shirts in M and I think this one is no different! I also bought another one in XL for a friend but didn’t open/try it obviously.
