Agreed about the snacks. They do have salty snacks at the convenience store, but they are toned down quite a bit, so they don't pack the same punch. I remember being so surprised the first time I bought Pringles here and realized 1) the chip is a different shape (less curvy) and 2) it's much less salty. Healthier, I'm sure, but not the same Pringles I know and love 😂 If you're considering getting a masters in something TESOL-related in Korea to get a professorship job, I would maybe reconsider. Some Korean universities (or US universities, for that matter) might look at it as less valuable than a degree from an English speaking country, and almost all university jobs require 2 years of university teaching experience for their entry-level positions for Masters degree holders (which makes it very difficult, Catch-22 experience -- you can't get any university experience unless you already have university experience). Some places also don't count any university-level teaching that you do as a Master's student, even if you're doing the exact same work as a regular professor. I left my hagwon job to go back to the US to teach university for a year before I was able to get hired at a university here in Korea. I'm not sure about international schools, since I don't have personal experience teaching at one. Best of luck in all your future endeavors!
I struggle so much with writing too. I honestly think a huge part of it for me is the syllable blocks. "Does this ㄴgo at the end of the first block, the second block, or is there one in each?!" It's tough! (I also still struggle with listening, jeez)
I love how you talked about the good experience with the old generation. I definitely had my fair share of rude elderly people (I grew up in Italy so the older generations are veeerery close-minded and entitled), but I can't say I had more bad experience with that specific category than with any other groups... Same for Korea, I met some lovely elderly people who went the extra mile to help me even if I don't speak Korean. My favourite person will forever be this old man I met on a countryside bus (one of the super small ones) while I was traveling around Pocheon with a friend. We were completely lost, and somehow this guy managed to communicate with us that he loved Italian music and also showed us the right bus stop, without speaking English lol I always love the chatty videos! ❤
Do you want to have kids ? ☺️ or would you rather focus on career and dating ? I want to do a lot of things, but I feel like having a family would have to come first over career goals. I’m not sure how to do both… unless I wait to have kids in my mid or late 30’s . I’m in my late 20’s now … ugh decisions!!!! 😂🎉
Hi Cherie, I don’t think you should pursue a graduate degree in Education. The job in education tend to be very low pay. What if you do something more science or tech based?
I’m not really passionate about science or tech. It’s not my thing and not something I want to get my master’s degree in. I’m much more passionate about teaching :)
Not me googling SNU language school after watching this video...😊
Cherie씨 항상 건강하시고 추운데 감기 조심하세요~ㅎㅎ

Very nice, interesting and informative.
My dream is to move to japan soon hopefully I can one day for a few years 🩷 love how you show Korea in your videos 🥹
About feeling dumb at the post-office...I would say that to have the best experience abroad is to be confortable feeling dumb. It is going to happen.
