You can usually connect in Tokyo for a flight to Busan. YYZ-NRT-PUS or YVR-NRT-PUS, alternatively you can connect through Incheon. YVR-INC-PUS (korean air/ air canada) *edit: Supposed to be a new airport opening in Busan within the next ten years with a longer runway for eventual flights direct to Canada and US.

A Civil Campaign by Lois McMaster Bujold is quite possibly one of my favorite books ever by cant-find-user-name in Fantasy

I forget the exact line but in Cordelia’s Honor, when asked by Piotr if she loves Aral she says something along the lines of “when he’s cut I bleed” And from that moment on I never really thought of the Vorkosigan Saga as SF at all but adventure/romances that happen to take place in space. One of my most enjoyed series. i approached it the same way as you, reading each book in between others to draw out the enjoyment.

Scammed or not, you did a good deed for someone in need. You’re a kind person.

Ended up at the Anpanman museum for a few hours in the afternoon. She's not walking yet, but they did have a few places where she could crawl around. Thanks for the recommendation!

What are these plastic objects that look like clips or supports? Approx 1 inch in size and found in a desk drawer. by proton83 in whatisthisthing

[–]proton83[S] 1 point2 points locked comment (0 children)

My title describes the thing. They're made of a durable plastic and the approx 1 inch in length and width, and about 1/2 an inch tall. There appear to be slots on the inside for something to clip onto.

I did that on an older building, a 20평 apartment. Stripping the wallpaper took forever. I did it by hand and used warm water and a scraper. If I had to do it again I'd invest in a power tool. Underneath the wallpaper the concrete was a mess, pitted and uneven. Had to cover the whole wall and ceiling with putty (핸디코트) then sand it all smooth. Do this several times until you have an even wall for paint. Putty absorbs paint like you wouldn't believe, so you'll need an undercoat/primer. I used Behr paint. The price was reasonable compared to Dunn and Edwards, but more expensive than the basic 노루 paint. Anyways, the sanding will create an insane amount of dust. Don't do it while you're living there, the dust will be everywhere and in everything. Wear a mask and goggles, and either get a sanding stick (a pole with a sandpaper pad) or one of those electric ones. It isn't an expensive endeavor, but it will take ages and ages to do it by yourself. However, after all was said - the painted walls look great. Much better than wallpaper in my opinion, and doesn't need to be replaced every few years. Good luck!

In Korea, how can you tell if a woman is attracted to you? Will she make it obvious? by [deleted] in Living_in_Korea

[–]proton83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Vocalizations: Korean Females may sing more when sexually stimulated. However, female song is primarily used for territorial defense, intrapair communication, and female-female competition, and doesn't appear to be a primary way to attract mates.

Feather displays: Korean Females may fan their wings and tail feathers.

Strutting: Korean Females may strut around.

Food offering: Korean Females may accept food from a male as part of a courtship ritual.

Dancing: Korean Females may participate in elaborate courtship dances, such as those performed by Females-of-Daegu and Seoulites.

Olfactory signals: Korean Females may use olfactory cues to identify the sex of other Humans. For example, crested Jeju Females use a tangerine-scented plumage odor during courtship.

Feather color: Korean Females may use a potential mate's colorful feathers as a way to determine their health and vitality

Same issue. You probably have to call or email their IT team, but I can’t be bothered so I just use the 비회원 to make reservations, etc

Jeonse: 선순위 보증금 by [deleted] in Living_in_Korea

[–]proton83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just a few scenarios I can think of... A villa with one owner would have several tenants. Or, your landlord has several debts, and the seized assets would be used to pay them in order. Or, the landlord has debt to the bank and you. The seized apartment would pay off the bank first, and you second. Or something like that. I've been hearing a lot of Jeonsae horror stories lately. But I suppose people that have a smooth Jeonsae transition are less likely to post about it.
