foreigner apartment hunting & my loft tour | leaving korea? 서울 로프트 아파트 투어
0:00 updates
1:39 apartment 1
3:25 apartment 2
4:54 apartment 3
6:45 our apartment!
9:05 loft apartment tour 🥳
we looked at three different loft-style apartments here in seoul before we found the one! we made the decision so quickly, and since we only saw it at night, it felt like a bit of a risk. it was winter, so we couldn’t imagine what the view from the windows would look like in the spring. but i’m so glad we took the risk because our apartment is wrapped in windows, and we get so much natural sunlight. we're quite literally living among the treetops, haha.
the next part of the update will be out very soon! this video was getting too long, so i split it into two sections. the next video will cover whether we've decided to stay in korea or move back to canada, and what’s happening with our current loft apartment.
out of the apartments i showed, which one would you have picked?
it’s been very hectic over here, so thank you so much for all the support with everything that’s been going on!!

    I’m really shocked by how expensive the rent was for those apartments even with a $10k deposit, but I guess it’s because they were in gangnam I think. The one you chose in the end was the best. I’m excited for the update.

    I will say a lot of what she says echos my experiences in other foreign countries I've lived & taught English in. Most of the immigration officials were rude, unhelpful and make you feel unwelcome. The school themselves even when working for public or private its about money. How much they can make and how little they can get away with paying you while also making you do 3 to 4 times the work of the average teacher in the schools. At one point I was teaching per week 900 to 1k students. The average teacher might teach 56 to 200 students. So yeah I feel for this lady. Either you learn to accept the culture, the prejudices, the scams and just the pure abusive stuff some locals will say in their native language about you thinking you don't know what they are sayiing.

      @@cutthelandline it may be as legit as essentially a call center, but won’t pay minimum wage, or anything hourly. None of the pay is guaranteed, only commission; however, it doesn’t work like a regular marketing job in that regard, where your commission would be larger (like for selling printers) Instead you’d make a small commission based on your success over the phone. Usually I think it has to do with health insurance or union benefits (this is in America; it’s obviously not the same scam in countries with better healthcare). I’ve also seen ppl just walking around the city with cardboard boxes of stuff, you’ll get a position selling the items in one of these boxes by answering an ad for a marketing job. This is all based off of my own experience from 9-6 years ago. My friend, however, still lives in the city and has mentioned most of the job opportunities being scams, without mentioning marketing specifically. Ironically we both ended up substitute teaching, with can be kind of demoralizing at times but at least is legit as a job. Not trying to comment on what is best for you, because that is your decision and only yours. But I sincerely hope that you find happiness wherever you choose to go, or stay. ❤️

    If you don't have anything tying you down to Korea, I would leave for at least a year and go back to Canada and start working there. That way you can get a clear comparison of which place you enjoy more. You can always travel back to Korea later. I lived in Korea and am glad I left. I would have only stayed if I had gotten married with this Korean chick but glad I did not because she was insane lol.

    How can lanugage be a Con? It's like going to Vancouver and saying well, I cant speak English. Thus, learn the language of the country you are in. It shows your lazy mindset. And about the job, what did you expect from any Job? Scam the system? You are obviously getting paid. You need to stop being a child and become an adult. I've worked in the states since I was 14. In order to be successful in life, you need to cultivate grit and hard work ethic. Then you can follow your dream as a hobby! First, you still need to learn much as you can and work hard. And don't confuse view counts with anything. Ppl just watch ppl for fun.

    Research job demand for the job types you are interested in and how those jobs are trending. For example, I think many companies allowing remote work at least partially. That might suggest the demand for HR representatives is not what it used to be. You are an educator, which suggests you do not need to restrict yourself to a specific industry. I say this because I feel education related to computer programming and technical certification (e.g., Java, Salesforce) can only grow as there are more and more programmers. Forget the news of 'mass layoffs'. That is only in tech hubs like San Francisco where everyone wants to be. In all other cities there is always a strong demand for programmers. Not quite a year ago I sent a resume to my current employer and received an offer 2 weeks later. If I were in your position, after finding my next (2 year) job, I would learn computer programming. Follow a tutorial for about a month to get a basic idea of what it involves. Then pick up a good book (research it on Amazon) and work through it, completing all but the final chapters. Then study for the certification exam and take/pass the test. With your degree and experience and a programming certification on your resume, I think you would be an ideal candidate for the suggested position. You would also be able to get a programming position, most likely at a contact company as many don't require a CompSci degree. What programming should you study? Python is where all the buzz is, but the syntax of Java, C, C++, CSharp, JavaScript, and Salesforce(Apex) are nearly identical. If you learn Java you can understand JavaScript, which is used in web/cloud development. You would also have no problem learning to program in Apex on the Salesforce,com (cloud) platform. In fact, since there are fewer Salesforce developers than there are Java developers, Salesforce might be a good place to start. whoami: I have an MSCS degree and have 10+ years of experience in both Java and Salesforce. I am in the US. If you are considering coming here I would wait until after the November election.

    I lucked out and got a "decent" hagwon (it later went to sh*t and I did not stay). But! When this school was decent, I still hated how much we had to push the kids. It was so much work for 6yr olds! They never got time to be kids and I hated how much work I was required to assign. I felt like some kind of foreign villain ruining their childhood with vocab tests.

      Truly! The amount of times students would get nosebleeds from stress/lack of sleep etc. in class is pretty concerning

      Can I ask, did you decide to change hagwons after or chose something else entirely? :)

      @cutthelandline I originally planned on switching to Epik. The English language public school curriculum, while still a lot, is incorporated into their normal school day. So, students aren't forced to go to extra English classes until midnight. But, my sister had a baby and I ended up back in the US. I'm finally putting my science degree to use and I'm lab coordinator for Microbiology research. While I loved teaching and being in Korea, getting to use my degree has been equally rewarding. Somedays, I stop and enjoy how quiet the lab space is and how much I control my work now.

      I think something I really appreciate about working in Korea is how it taught me to value life outside of work. After work in Korea, I would write, paint, walk, hike, etc. And I never did this in the US because I was stuck in a boring but comfortable routine. Now, I keep up with my hobbies, plan trips, and enjoy life after work in the US. I remind myself that I can enjoy life in both Korea and America, but that it is up to me to put forth the effort in both locations.

      Wow sounds really lovely! Sometimes I wonder too if I should continue pursuing my psych degree but I think travel is still one of my top priorities and it would limit where I would go I think

    I hope you figured out how to stay there. I know you said you don’t want to go back to working at a Hagwon but can you work at one part time instead of full time? That way you can use the extra time to learn Korean and do volunteer work to get points when applying for the permanent residency visa. Going back home would definitely be a waste in my opinion. Don’t give up.

      Unfortunately part time jobs don’t support visa sponsorships :( otherwise that would’ve been a great option

    Do they not have any good translation apps? Could you stay if you got a work visa from a company? Seems to me like they make it difficult for people to immigrate to that country, which for them is not really a bad thing. Look at countries right now, and the big issues because the high influx of immigrants. If you like it there, stick it out until you’re able to live there legally and then you can do other things, that you want to do. Who knows you might meet someone and fall in love, that would definitely make things easier.

    That's not true about needing a car to live in Vancouver. Many areas it's better not to have a car/ Out in the burbs tho. Yes you better have a car. Having a car in the West End isn't the best.
