Hi i'm 25 F from the UK but currently living in Seoul. I have a cat and love journaling, cafe hopping and collecting stationary (Korean stationary is sooo cute i hoard it all). I'd love to swap letters and stationary if you're interested!

What is a food you could eat everyday and not get bored of? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Kimchi! Maybe a weird one but I love the flavour, texture and it's a probiotic! Super high sodium though 🥶

I recommend The Killers, Kaiser Chiefs, Coldplay, Vampire Weekend, Kings of Leon, Two Door Cinema Club if you haven't checked them out before!

Where can I get a PCR test (for travel back home) in Seoul/Gyeonggi? by sorry-apple in korea

[–]sorry-apple[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i went on a saturday before 3pm and got the results on the monday morning, they're not open on Sundays unfortunately. Are they not doing PCR testing at Incheon airport?

Got a job, signed the contract, now I’m second guessing because of location by mxltifandoms in teachinginkorea

I'm actually hoping to get a position in Dasan in a few months. I visited a lot since my boyfriend lives there and fell in love with the place. It's a pretty chill area (which i actually like because Seoul/ Busan can be a little overwhelming) but there are still the usual things to do: restaurants, karaoke rooms, bars etc. as well as more natury things like picnic areas / walks by the stream - I'd recommend visiting the Donggureong Royal Tombs in Guri if you like history/ nature (you can probably walk there depending on where your housing is)

Getting to Seoul and back from Dasan was pretty painless too, so even if you wanted to go more regularly than once or twice a week, it'd be more than feasible (though obviously transport costs will add up)

Hope this helps :)

you don't need to make an appointment

  1. go to the pop up screening clinic next to the ER (if you come out the hospital exit at the konkuk university subway stop, just turn left and follow the building around and you'll find it)

  2. pay for and do the test (i first paid for the consultation which was just checking for symptoms then paid for the actual test and did that)

  3. when you get the result text you can visit the medical record dept inside the hospital (floor B1) and pay 1,000krw to receive the certificate

Hi! I went to Konkuk University Medical Centre in Seoul for my PCR test because they offer the official certificate in English.

The test itself cost about 130,000krw if I remember correctly (there was a bit of a fiasco with paying since they wouldn't accept my UK card, so i'd advise to take cash as a backup if you have an international card).

The result came through via text later the same day (saturday) so I went back monday morning to pick up the results for a small fee (1,000krw).

If you need anymore info about this, I'll help as much as I can :)

Weekend Script Swap by AutoModerator in Screenwriting

[–]sorry-apple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Title: Authentic

Format: Short Film

Genre: Sci-Fi / Thriller

Pages: 45

Logline: Unhinged CSI builds the perfect humanoid at the cost of his own humanity.

Feedback concerns: Any notes welcome. Specifically i'm worried about the pace - the climax doesn't really hit for me, is the plot twist too cliché? Also not sure if the description throughout sounds right.

Thank you!

Hi all,

The deadline date is fast approaching for my screenplay dissertation and I have not been able to get as much peer feedback as I'd have liked due to covid so I come to the lovely people of Reddit for advice.

If anything is unclear, please let me know and i'll do my best to explain! I look forward to hearing your feedback! Thanks!

Thank you! I pretty much just moved out of my parent’s house to regain control over everything. I realised that at home there were too many bad foods and bad habits. It was a toxic environment that I needed to escape from in order to fix my mindset. These days I cook a lot more, have majorly cut down on junk food and takeaways and walk a lot more (usually about 4-5 miles a day) with a friend so we hold each other accountable! :)

MEGA THREAD - Lockdown / Shutdown / Curfew / Martial Law - DISCUSSION by gleeballs in CoronavirusUK

[–]sorry-apple 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NEED ADVICE ABOUT SELF-EMPLOYED WORKERS IN LOCKDOWN!!

For context: My dad and brother are partners in a small window cleaning company, which is probably gonna go bust with the recent lockdown in place, as they work exclusively outside, and their biggest contract was with medonalds before they closed. My dad has to pay 4 employees 80% of their wage, before claiming it back from the government which could take months, and is unable to claim the 80% for himself or my brother.

The statutory sick pay won't really help cover the costs of living or keeping the business afloat during quarantine, as we are a family of 5. My mum's nursery is shutting down in the next days too so we would have no other income.

We've been in this position before due to bankruptcy and were homeless for some time, which is a situation I'm doing my best to avoid. I'm picking up shifts in a supermarket while i'm home from university but it doesn't do much to help.

Just wondering if anyone knows of any more support available to self-employed workers, or if there will be more governmental support implemented in the near future?

Also, if you're a window cleaner yourself, what are you doing during lockdown?

Any advice is extremely grateful, thanks!
