I finished my job the Friday before last at a huge chain. I confirmed and re-confirmed that I had up to 2 weeks to leave the country, and the boss and all the other folk with impressive titles and no real responsibilities agreed. The following Monday I went to immigration to find out about a student visa (I recommend visiting the Gwanghwamun branch - dead quiet...but it seems you have to speak some Korean). They said I was in triouble cos my visa had finshed already - the issue was I didn't have an out-going ticket! Apparently I had to have this already, before my visa expired. So a few days later I bought one, returned to the office and then I had to have a dictation lesson - writing out a visa extension application cos "I didn't understand", etc...I never knew we had to have a ticket before our visas expired...I leave for Japan tomorrow...

Welcome to Korea.

You won't know most things until you are scolded for not knowing by people who can't speak English and can threaten your entirel livelihood here.
