Gangneung is removing the barbed wire fences. That's going to be awesome to have all of that east coast beach space open up. Hopefully it's finished in time for summer.

Anyway the wedding was really great and our families got along great so now it's back to regular old life. Thank goodness spring is finally here!
No, spring was here. It's summer now, silly.

I was already under the impression that Korea has tons of beach space, would rather see it as a national park.

That whole area is already a super popular vacay spot. So at least now it'll offer more options if you want a break from the hustle and bustle of the big city.

Can someone give me some tips on Korean semi-formal work attire? I'll be working in Daegu come mid-August which is supposedly super humid, will short-sleeve work shirts/polos and slacks be fine? Am I thinking too much about this?

Most offices these days just have men wearing Yshirts and slacks, with blazers optional.

Something Awful forums user Onion Knight who I have never met and have no guarantee that you are not cruelly misleading me with a single emoticon and indeed even exist on this side of the planet are you saying that I can meet you in Seoul, South Korea in real life and give you hard-earned money to squeeze my face to rid it of a hellish blackhead that has tortured my face for months? Is that what you're saying?

Because if so, I'm down.

onion knight is really proud of his long history of squeezing blacks out of places they don't belong. You're safe.

Anyone know if they give vaccines in Korea? Specifically, there HPV vaccine?

I'm a dude and had the first of 3 shots in March, in the states, while I still had insurance. I'm back in the states for a few months without insurance, and I need to get both of the remaining ones like, now.

Since I have to get both out of pocket without insurance, I'm wondering if I'd be able to just start over when I go back to Korea. Hopefully free, or subsidized.

I did my Hep vaccines maybe 1.5 years ago. It was 3 rounds of shots here and I think cost me total of $120?

I did a basic search and three shots of gardasil will set you back ~$300+ US. They don't really vaccinate men here yet, but I can't see it being any cheaper for men.

If you want to bring something this year, whether it be a pie, casserole, or 2 pounds of cream cheese, you are more than welcome too. Try to let me know though, as we don't want to have a situation where we 25 pies.

I'm really in a bad relationship with soju. On one hand, I don't taste it anymore and can get really drunk for cheap.

On the other hand, I wake up with 18 hour hangovers where nerves on part of my face don't quite work right leaving me feel like local anesthesia.

Hi, can someone give me advice for how to get the national insurance if I'm on a student visa? The insurance I had when I was on my e2 visa and working is obviously gone.

Is it possible to get back on the national insurance? I did some googling and it looked like it was if I paid myself into it, but I couldn't find any clear instructions explaining how to actually do it.

Also, how much does it cost a month if it is possible? I read a few different things that disagreed, and I know things like that change very often.

Thanks.

Found that from SNU. I glanced at it and its 35k/mo? It looks like its processed / handled through the university, so you'll need to get in touch with them for specifics.
