I love how your friend was like YOLO! new subscriber, I've been loving these videos. I wanted to ask what was your experience with the education in Korea? I have been thinking about doing a similar exchange but I'm hesitant.

Thank you! I would say, my education in Korea was different than a typical Korean university experience because I went to an international summer school which was taught in English! I had a lot of fun! Classes were very similar to university classes in the US.

how much are piercings in korea compared to the us?

[@SunnyWangX]

great question! They are sooo cheap! My friends got both ears pierced for the equivalent of about $11. However, if you have very sensitive ears, they are more expensive because you would need to buy the more expensive metal stud. The process itself is about $8 total for two piercings. But you do have to pick the stud you want to use. The price varies a lot for that. For instance, I have super super sensitive ears so if I get the most precious metal studs, it would come out to about $70, which I think is pretty comparable to US prices.
