      If you love cooking; bring chicken and beef stock from home. If you love aromat, bring that.
      Bring that Six Gun spice 😂 and Rajah curry powder. Bring your favourite SAn snacks. I didn’t like Cheese Curls back home but time to time I find myself crazing them.
      You can also lokela my 1KG of samp.

    hi! I’ve been watching a lot of your videos recently and I’m planning to teach English in South Korea in the next 4 years as soon as I complete my bachelors. the virgo in me wants to plan EARLY and I wanted to know if you recommend packing an international adapter for charging devices like my iPhone/iPad etc or if it’s already supplied nearby when I land in the country. thanks! (:

    • @LettyMapstheWorld
      @LettyMapstheWorld  2 роки тому +1

      I only needed an adapter for my laptop since I had the South African three pin plug.
      I don’t think you should stress about that right now; you have four more years. Things can change a lot in 4 years

      But I did learn Hangul (alphabet) in South Africa and I used UA-cam. I used Seemile Korean and also look into Talk to Me in Korean (they have a website and are also on UA-cam) they are amazing!
