Hello everyone~ Today, I'm going to introduce you to Teacher's Day! Teacher's Day is a national holiday celebrated every year on May 15th in Korea. Not long ago, I spent Teacher's Day with my professors and seniors. , 1️⃣ Origin of Korean Teachers' Day , The origin of Teacher's Day is also quite interesting. It is said to have started in 1963 as a 'Teacher's Day' event where members of the Youth Red Cross (JRC) in the Chungnam region visited sick or retired teachers! In 1964, Korea designated May 26 as 'Teacher's Day', and in 1965, the date was moved to May 15, the birthday of King Sejong, who created the Hunminjeongeum, and it has continued to this day. , 2️⃣ Introducing Teacher's Day , On this day, students give carnations to their teachers to express their gratitude, or prepare handwritten letters and small gifts. I also wanted to express my gratitude, so I wrote a letter to my teacher, and I also prepared small gifts and flowers with my seniors. They were happier than I expected, so I was also happy. , Teacher's Day is not just a day to thank teachers and professors, but it is a precious day that reminds us that we have all grown up under someone's teachings. On this Teacher's Day, have you expressed your gratitude to the teachers, professors, or people who have guided you in life? , Today, I introduced you to Teacher's Day in Korea. Do you have a Teacher's Day in your country? Please share your warm Teacher's Day story in the comments :) I hope you all have a happy day~

hello everyone I recently went to Banpo Hangang Park. When I went in the evening, there was a fountain show going on!

Hello everyone A few days ago, I went to Mangwon Hangang Park with a friend, and it was so much better than I expected. Today, I’m going to share with you the fun experience I had there~ , 1️⃣ Mangwon Hangang Park Healing , The weather was clear that day and the breeze was gentle, making it a perfect day for a walk. I got off at Mangwon Station, ate at Mangwon Market, and walked a short distance to Mangwon Hangang Park. I’ve usually been to the Yeouido or Banpo Hangang Parks, but this was my first time at Mangwon, and it was even better than I thought! , As the sky began to turn red at sunset, I was truly amazed. I took pictures from various angles because I was greedy for photos, and luckily, I got some really pretty pictures! Mangwon Hangang Park seems to be the best photo spot. I recommend going at sunset on a nice day~ , Mangwon Hangang Park definitely had a relaxed atmosphere and a local feel, which was really nice. I spread out a picnic mat and sat down, and I didn't realize how much time had passed. I bought snacks and drinks at a nearby convenience store and chatted while looking out at the Hangang River. , 2️⃣ Mangwon Hangang Park Seoul Ham , While I was walking, I also happened to find 'Seoulham Park'. I had only heard that there was an actual warship in Hangang Park, but it was my first time seeing it in person, so it was really amazing. When I got closer, it was quite large and magnificent. Seoulham was a retired warship that was actually used by the Navy, but now it is open for citizens to freely look around. Since I came across such an unexpected sight while walking, Mangwon Hangang Park seems to be a place with a lot of charm~ , If you don't have any special plans for the weekend, why not have a picnic or take a walk at Mangwon Hangang Park?

I couldn't help but buy a bunch of them because they looked so good. I personally thought the fried twisters were the best! I want to go back and buy some more next time~ , And when you go to Mangwon Market, you can't miss the famous fried chicken restaurant. Of course, I went there! The line was quite long, but as soon as I took a bite, I understood why people were waiting. It was so delicious! You can choose between spicy and mild, and I chose spicy~ , 2️⃣ Introduction to Mangwon Market in Korea 2 , On one side of the market, there were cute accessory shops and vintage clothing stores, so it was fun to look around with a friend. Time flies by as you look at clothes and accessories. I ended up buying a lot without even realizing it while going with a friend! , The best part is that, although it is a market, it has a good mix of traditional and modern sensibilities. There are a lot of pretty cafes around Mangwon Market, and it’s close to the Han River, so I think it’s really great. You can eat something delicious at the market and go to a cafe for dessert, so I think you’ll have a great time no matter who you go with! , If you are wondering what to do this weekend, why not try taking a trip to Mangwon Market? :) Have a nice day~

Hello everyone Did you see a lot of cherry blossoms last week? I saw a lot of them inside the school. Every day on the way to the classroom, pink petals were fluttering and sunlight was streaming through the trees, and it was like a scene from a movie. , Chung-Ang University is famous for its many stairs and hills, so there are many places where you can feel the charm of spring from various angles and perspectives. After class or on weekends, I would walk around the campus and take pictures. From the hill in front of Building 102, the walking path next to the Central Library, to the square in front of the main building, I captured every place where cherry blossoms were in bloom with my camera. Every time I took a picture, the liveliness of spring and warm memories of my study abroad life were captured in each picture. , What was particularly impressive was the cherry blossom petals fluttering whenever the wind blew. At that moment, all noise stopped and even time seemed to flow slowly. I would take pictures with my friends under there, laughing, and sometimes I would sit alone and quietly look at the cherry blossoms, enjoying the charm of spring. The view from the top of the stairs, the petals sparkling in the sunlight… I think every moment will become a precious memory of my study abroad life~ , Spring at Chung-Ang University is not just a beautiful season, but it is also a time that gives me special comfort and meaning. While attending graduate school, there were many times when I felt lonely and had a hard time, but when I walked around the campus with cherry blossoms in full bloom, it felt like spring was telling me that it was okay and that I should try a little harder. , How is spring at your current school?

The cherry blossoms were in full bloom along the lake, just like a scene from a movie. Today, I will share my experience of seeing cherry blossoms~ , 1️⃣ Seokchon Lake Cherry Blossoms 1 , I heard that Seokchon Lake is a place where the city and nature are in harmony in Seoul, so I always wanted to visit there whenever I passed by Jamsil. The long walking path along the lake and the cherry blossoms fluttering over the water were impressive even just from looking at the pictures. So this time, I went to see it with a friend. When we actually arrived, the scenery was even prettier than the pictures. The wind was still a little chilly, but the cherry blossoms were blooming like clouds, embracing the lake! , 2️⃣ Seokchon Lake Cherry Blossoms 2 , It was night, but there were still many people, and the cherry blossoms in full bloom under the warm lights sparkled on the lake like a painting. We stopped several times to take pictures, took pictures of each other, and recorded precious moments. I was so happy walking and laughing with my friend and looking at the flowers~ , In addition to Seokchon Lake, there are many beautiful cherry blossom spots in Seoul. One of them is Yunjong-ro in Yeouido. I heard that there is a 1.7km cherry blossom road along the Han River, so I want to go there.

Hello everyone I had Dongtae Jjigae a while ago. It was my first time and I had never had a fishy stew before, so I was a little worried that it would be fishy. But when I actually tried it, I didn't have to worry at all! Today, I'm going to introduce you to Dongtae Jjigae, one of the Korean stews. , 1️⃣ Introduction to Dongtae Jjigae , Dongtae Jjigae is a traditional Korean stew made with frozen pollack called 'dongtae' as the main ingredient! Because frozen fish is used, the meat is soft and the broth is richer. It is said that it is a food that is often eaten in Korea, especially in the winter. Spring has come, but it is still a little cold in Seoul, so it is the perfect time to eat Dongtae Jjigae! The broth is refreshing and tangy. It is the best meal to warm up your body in cold weather~ , 2️⃣ Dongtae Jjigae Ingredients , The Dongtae Jjigae I ate had ingredients like Dongtae, radish, green onions, bean sprouts, and water parsley. And the broth seasoned with red pepper powder, garlic, soybean paste, and soy sauce was really rich. In particular, the radish made the broth taste refreshing, and the bean sprouts and water parsley had a crunchy texture, which was delicious. , And it is cheaper than you think, despite the many ingredients . It is really filling for a meal. Also, it is refreshing but not too spicy. Rather, it has a light and healthy taste because of the fish. If there is anyone who has not tried Dongtae Jjigae yet, I recommend you try it. I think I will think of it in the winter :) , Today, I introduced you to Korean Dongtae Jjigae! I tried it at first out of curiosity and a sense of challenge, but it was much more delicious and warm than I expected. Have you ever tried it? What is your favorite Korean food? Have a nice day~

There are also drinks and snacks at the cafe, so we could eat something simple while playing the game. , 2️⃣ Korean Breed Cafe - Spy Game , And we played a spy game! At first, everyone was quiet and watched each other closely, but as the atmosphere heated up, we became really focused on suspecting and deducing each other.

Hello everyone~ Dear Korean international students, are you paying the National Health Insurance premium every month? Then, what benefits can you receive through National Health Insurance? One of the most important benefits is that you can receive a free health checkup every two years. So today, I will share my experience of having a health checkup~ , 1️⃣ Pre-order , You must make a reservation at a hospital or health screening center in advance to receive a health checkup. You should call the hospital in advance to confirm whether you are eligible for a free health checkup. Generally, people born in odd years can receive a free health checkup in odd years, and people born in even years can receive a free health checkup in even years. After confirming, visit the screening center on the date and time you made your reservation. After presenting your ID and completing the registration, you will be guided through the screening process and order. , 2️⃣ Examination procedures, items , Before the full checkup, you will also change into comfortable checkup clothes. The first step of the physical examination is to measure your height, weight, and blood pressure. Vision and hearing tests may also be included, and blood will be drawn for blood and urine tests. After the checkup is completed, you can choose a method of notification (email, etc.) to receive the results later~ , National health insurance allows you to receive basic treatment and examinations for free, but if you want in-depth additional examinations, you will have to pay more. However, since national health insurance is applied, you can receive additional examinations at a discounted price compared to general hospitals! Since you can receive support through health insurance, you can receive examinations relatively cheaply. Therefore, if there are additional examinations that are necessary, it is recommended to check the cost and insurance coverage in advance. 😊 , Everyone, when you study abroad, your health is the most important. When you live in an unfamiliar environment, your body can easily get tired, so make sure to get a health checkup! You need a healthy body to be able to continue your studies successfully! 😊💪 Stay healthy~

Today, I will share with you my school life~ , 1️⃣ Life as an international student at graduate school 1 , I wake up around 8am, eat cereal and bread in the kitchen, and then go to school. Maybe because it’s still early, the hallway is quiet, and the reading room has a calm atmosphere. I put my laptop, writing utensils, and books on the desk and started studying. It was a little overwhelming at first because I had a lot of homework and reading materials to do since the new semester had just started, but once I sat down in the reading room and focused, I didn’t even realize how much time had passed! , 2️⃣ Life as an international student at graduate school 2 , After studying, I went to eat at the cafeteria with a friend! I was really hungry after concentrating so hard, but a bowl of warm soup and rice was just right. Today's menu was stir-fried pork, pancake, and salad. It was a bit unexpected that pineapple came out, but it was sweet and sour, so it was okay! It was nice to be able to talk about various things while eating with a friend, and to be able to cool my head for a little while. , 3️⃣ Life as an international student at graduate school 3 , After class in the afternoon, I went to a famous hangover soup restaurant near the school with my senior in the evening. I had a light lunch at the cafeteria, but I wanted something heavy for dinner. I went there with high expectations because my senior recommended it, and the soup was really rich and deep, so I was completely satisfied! I mixed rice in the warm hangover soup and ate it, and it felt like all the fatigue from the day was gone. , Today, I introduced my ordinary daily life. Of course, studying abroad can be difficult at times and I feel lonely at times, but as I fill each day, I am gradually becoming accustomed to life here. 😊 Hey everyone, are you busy these days?

The seagulls at Wolmido fly in and follow me as if they are begging for snacks. If you hold a snack like Saewookkang in your hand, the seagulls will fly in and eat it themselves. I was a little scared at first, but when I mustered up my courage and reached out my hand, the seagulls snatched the food. It was really fun. It’s a unique experience, so I highly recommend you try it! , I also had another experience in Incheon, and I will introduce it in detail next time~ have a good day!

hello~ Everyone, you all know how expensive it is to move in Korea. It usually costs hundreds of thousands of won. This is my 6th time moving in Korea, and I was worried about how to move my stuff as it kept increasing. But I found a very cheap and convenient way to move, so I'm going to share it with you soon! 😊 , Just use the Kakao T app! Click on Quick Delivery in the app and select Damis Quick. Choose a vehicle based on the amount of luggage you have! Then just enter the information and you're done! , 1️⃣ Be sure to make a reservation in advance! , Kakao T Quick Delivery Service is much cheaper if you make a reservation in advance. You can significantly reduce the cost by making a reservation just one day in advance. However, if you call on the same day without a reservation, the cost can be more than double, so make sure to make a reservation with plenty of time to spare! If you want to save on moving costs, please remember that reservations are essential! , 2️⃣ Write down the amount of luggage in detail , When applying for the service, it is a good idea to write down in detail the number and size of the luggage you are moving in the notes section. For example, you can write something like "5 boxes, 2 carriers." This will help the driver move your luggage and prevent additional charges or unnecessary misunderstandings. For reference, I wrote it like the photo below! , 3️⃣ Moving luggage with the driver , If the driver helps you load or unload your luggage, there is an additional charge of 6,000 won. However, in my personal experience, this amount was not a big burden, and I was very satisfied because it saved me time and energy. The driver I met was particularly kind, and he carried almost all my luggage himself, so I only carried light luggage. , This method is not only much cheaper than using a traditional moving company, but it is also easy to use, so I highly recommend it to international students living alone!

I will share some tips to help you successfully apply for the TOPIK exam this time! 😊 , 1️⃣ Which browser is faster? , I personally recommend Google Chrome browser!

If you have been using other browsers, I think it would be a good idea to try Chrome this time! , 2️⃣ Pre-login is required! , Did you know that you can log in in advance when registering for TOPIK? If you go to the official TOPIK website, there is a button called 'Go to website (except for test registration)' at the bottom. If you click this button, you will be taken to the login screen. If you log in in advance, you can save a lot of time when you start registering. However, there is one thing to be careful about! You can only log in on one device, and it is better to avoid using multiple tabs at the same time. It may not be smooth when registering. Check it out before registering! , 3️⃣ Check the exact time with Naver Time , And the important thing is that Naver time is the most accurate! You can check it very accurately down to the minute and second, so you can try it right away when the application starts. To make the application more convenient, it is also a good idea to split the screen and open Naver time and TOPIK application page at the same time~ , Everyone, there is another TOPIK application tomorrow.

Today, we will introduce some useful part-time job apps for finding part-time jobs in Korea! , 1️⃣ Neighborhood Part-time Job , One of the representative apps that helps international students easily find part-time jobs in Korea is Dongnealba.

hello~ Hey guys, I found a studio apartment yesterday! I'm going to share some great tips on finding a studio apartment in Korea. I had to find a house in a hurry this time, so I visited 6 real estate agents in 3 days and looked at many houses. I've summarized the experiences I gained during the process. I think it would be helpful for you to refer to when you're looking for a house too 😊 , 1️⃣ How do I find a broker? , Everyone, please look for multiple brokers! Each broker has different properties, and it is best to go to a broker near the area you want to live in. You can find out if they are trustworthy by simply talking to them. Also, if you tell the broker what you want in advance, you can save time looking at unnecessary houses. Also, if you want to find a good studio, you need to look for it in advance. For example, if you are planning to move in mid-February, many good houses will be sold out starting in mid-January. I recommend looking in advance starting in early January. , 2️⃣ How to calculate brokerage fees , Most people go through a real estate agent when looking for a house, and the brokerage fee varies depending on the price of the house (deposit + monthly rent). If you search for 'real estate agent fee' on Naver, you can check the approximate amount through a calculator. By referring to this, you can get a rough idea of ​​how much the brokerage fee is. , 3️⃣ Be sure to check before signing the contract! , I recommend visiting the house at least twice before signing the contract. I checked the basic structure and location on the first visit. And on the second visit, I checked the interior facilities (for example, the condition of the lighting, the condition of the shower, whether the air conditioner was cleaned, whether the windows were damaged, etc.). And if there is a problem, ask the landlord to fix it before signing the contract, or make sure to include it in the contract through the agent! , If there are any other things that come to mind, I'll share them with you~ I hope you all find the home you want 😊 Have a nice day~
