 |
|
Okay to start, I used to like taking out my skateboard and skating around at night, but here its kind of... stupid to say the least. With the extremely crappy sidewalks and the more than crowded streets (why are there thousands of taxis at 3:30am?) its almost impossible!
During this holiday though, the streets have been empty which is epik... 1 problem though... Its freezing, and to skate with the wind against you makes it worse.
My question is if there are any other holidays like this in Korea? Around the spring/summer time? |

Epik? You are trying to tell us you have an Epik job and the place is packed?
Or do you mean epik as in "epic"?
For now, I am calling you out on this one. Better luck next time. See you on the "flip flop".
PS: Kudos, you even got ttompatz to reply to this one. |

No, not EPIK, lol.
I'm 19 so I feel like I am still at the age where I am allowed to say epik (as in epic) without looking like a complete tool 
Is Chuseok the only one? September 12th this year... I'm not even here D: |

| Exactly what is a 19 year old doing living alone in Korea? Are you Korean? |

What kind of job can a 19 year-old foreigner get in Korea?
As a high school graduate, you are not allowed to misspell words.

I don't plan on getting a job, I just got that Visa type because it allows me to stay here for a year and study (which is what I am currently doing). I got this Visa type as a precaution, as opposed to other 1 year Visas.
Sorry for my spelling mistakes by the way, I didn't think I would get called out on them...
Thank you for the trippy google thingy aswell |

There are plenty of 19-21 year olds in Korea teaching illegally.  |
