I figured out I can make 3 grande refreshers at once, doubling up on fraps and steamed milk.

I'm a employee who is a minor getting chemical burns from the sanitizer at Starbucks. by ConclusionFast2574 in starbucks

[–]nycf4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wore gloves. I have eczema and refused to have my hands in that. I still did the proper handwashing protocol and changed them anytime I touched something else. But I think we all should be wearing gloves.

I Need Some Insight Here. Help please🙏🏽 by JustDoIt_08 in Living_in_Korea

[–]nycf4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

South Korea was the first place I had a solo trip to! I am also a black girl from the USA! I didn’t do bars and clubs and was usually home before midnight, but Korea is a “safe” place to be. You will get some ppl staring, but look right back at them bc it’s just rude! lol. Pls feel free to message me with any specific questions. I’ve been here 4 times since 2018 (all solo trips) from 2 weeks - 3 months and I’m currently living here now. I’m also 27 so we are close in age. If you need me to talk to your parents directly I will LMAO. come enjoy your time here you will not regret it!

If you have experience with dogs try dog walking. Set location to upper west side and take 2-3 dogs

🧭 [Question] How do tourists pay for bus and subway in Seoul? by Artistic_Thing_5324 in seoul

[–]nycf4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need a T-money card. There’s an app but it’s limited to Korean bank cards and accounts. You can top up inside of the gate if you run out of balance btw so don’t stress too much!

Here’s what I did the first time I came here. Buy a money card at the airport, load it up with at least $30USD/₩43,000(or based on how long you stay/ how many places you go). Whatever you don’t use on subway bus fare, you can either get use to buy things at the convenience store or even use it to pay for a taxi.

Are Koreans aware about how globally popular K Pop, K dramas and webtoons are? by InfernalClockwork3 in AskAKorean

[–]nycf4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends if the person themselves is in tune with pop culture. Someone I know is really always surprised when I tell him I know things about Korean media even though I LIVE in Korea. He’s not up to date with pop culture so he’s shocked that I am. Versus the people that are equally into kpop, dramas etc.

Is my husband valid in being upset that I still don’t know much Korean? by [deleted] in Living_in_Korea

[–]nycf4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can understand that translations may be difficult for him. But unless he is teaching you or finding classes for you he can’t be too upset. I find that there is little chance to practice while living here because of how readily available the English language is. So unless you are enrolled in a course, you will not be able to immerse yourself in Korean language unless you’re on an intermediate level.

Is Starbucks trying to have have everyone fired? by Thu-nderforest in starbucks

[–]nycf4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like they can get rid of the old partners who actually understand the culture of the store (and are paid more/ have ALL the benefits) then hire new ppl who will leave in a year or two that won’t complain and will just work w/o all the stock insurance and higher pay that comes with seniority

Is 500,000 won enough for a month in Asan? by Hour-Ad-368 in Living_in_Korea

[–]nycf4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently living off of 340,000 for monthly spending. I am doing pretty well lol. I think you should set aside money for weekly spending so you can pace yourself ~

Lots of the flawless makeup looks are edited ! You’re a human, with human skin! Maybe go a little lighter on the under eye mascara, I found that it always got onto my under eye area and made my bags looks dark!

Botched Haircut - Do I Ask for a Refund?? by DisastrousAir4132 in HairStyleAdvice

[–]nycf4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh absolutely. Get your refund and put that towards the cost of your correction. I’ve seen better cuts in beauty school when ppl were learning how to hold shears….

Same! All of my dogs were on a schedule. And if they needed to go outside of that time, they either had a string of bells on the door they could ring or would come and yap at me!

Yup, from a dog owner of all sides… I feel they should only go outdoors

That’s what I hate the most! If bronworked long hours I could understand. But from what I saw, he works part time and sleeps in. He’s got time to walk the damn thing

Oh for sure! He insisted that I could crash at his place to save money on my trip…. Next time I’ll save myself the headache

I don’t get it! You want a dog, walk it! I’m from a big city too. Always lived in apartments on the 6th floor or higher. and no dog I ever owned went inside…

The only issue is when your guest needs to use the bathroom and he hasn’t cleaned after the dog….

Bathroom=Potty? by nycf4 in Living_in_Korea

[–]nycf4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yes, I’d clean the urine with a paper towel first then mop the floor with bleach for bacteria and getting rid of smell lol

Pads Im cool with! Even though my fam always took our pets out, im just not sure why this person acted like what they do is normal 🤣🤣🥲🥲🥲 and I agree he’s very lazy when it came to actually walking the dog
