  • Hi!
    Thank you for watching this video... I hope you enjoyed it! I worked on this for quite some time whilst having to deal with all the inevitable complications of moving to a whole new continent, so apologies for the delay in video uploads. Please look forward to more videos in the future!
    Love,

They probably will take pictures because they find you as an interesting person because it’s once in a life time chance :)

    To be honest, I'm a little worried about moving to South Korea. Don't get me wrong, I'm also frickin excited! But I've heard that there are a lot of toxic beauty standards that find a way to get to you no matter how independent and confident you are. Not that this is the biggest issue, but for younger people like me(I'll be 18 in a year), it makes me fear how my experience will be affected if I let conformity take over.

      From a perspective of korean, the reason why people didn't sat next to you might be the fear of speaking english. Most of koreans have a lack of confidence when it comes to speaking english, so they might have been trying to avoid any chance having conversation with 외국인.

Koreans are a lot more thoughtful and caring than we are used to and it may seem strange, even intrusive, in the beginning. But try to learn THEIR ways.

I think that it's really amazing that after, 4 years was it?, you were able to work it out and move to Korea! That's really amazing. // How many hour in total was the flight from Britain to Korea? // The Airbnb you stayed at looked so lovely, I have multiple places where other Korean people (and foreigners) stayed at and --let me tell you girl, you got the upper hand on the location. The places they stayed at were truly frightening lol since there was mold (mould?), things held together with duct tape, and super dark. // Perhaps it's because I've never been to Korea, but everything is just so photogenic haha. Even the inserted photograph of the place where you got the COVID test.
