I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane


Lots of exciting things have happened over the summer!

I officially have a job in South Korea! Yay that all worked out! I will be living in Daegu, South Korea which is a city of 2.5 million people... yikes! I am currently waiting to get my work visa and then I head out on the 23rd of August, which is in like 6 days! Time has gone by so fast and I can't believe I'm leaving already!

Deciding what to pack has been really difficult (for those of you who know me, I don't like packing light!) but I've read things online for what to pack: lots of deoderant, tampons, and razors! Apparently they don't sell very much of these things or they are really expensive. Best to be prepared... And also I can't pack too much because I was looking at pictures of studio apartments online and they're pretty small. South Korea is one of the most densely populated a
reas and so space is limited. Oh and the bathrooms! Here is an example of a typical South Korean bathroom which I expect I will have also:
Should be interesting! Oh and they don't have driers either... everything gets hung to dry! I'm glad I looked all of this up so now I know what to expect and I don't get shocked for when I first arrive.

Well that's all for now! Wish me luck on the rest of my packing! Hopefully I can get everything I need for a year in a few suitcases haha!
