As much as I like writing things chronologically, there are times when it's just too painful and complicated to make it on written form. Things that happen still have to be documented, but it won't be now. Maybe a bit later. This would be the "feel good" life episode.
A working woman has more financial freedom --- unless you're an heiress. :) Well, I am not so I have to work and I like it. I may not have to pay the bills but at least, I can cover the grocery and my personal cravings. ;)
My day has been a mini adventure today. I was able to attend a Korean-based training for after-school teachers after an hour drive, taste a worth-it fungi (mushroom) pasta, explore an area that I had wanted to check out before, and learn a few things even after a few kinks along the way.
On General Things
1. Research the target area more to avoid unnecessary expenses if possible.
2. Be more generous with "thank you" and "I'm sorry" as needed, but especially do more of the former. Think of Belle.
3. Relearn the Korean versions of these, especially the "kahmsahmnida" and "jal mogeutsubnida."
Specific Ones
1. Bring the parking stub with you to get stamped on especially in old buildings' underground parking. And do not lose any of it, parking stub or store receipt.
2. Always keep cash in the car, bills and coins.
3. It's a bit of a stretch to find parks in cities with good parking space so one has to do some diligent research or just risk parking anywhere.
4. It never hurts to ask questions.
Work related ones:
1. English driver's license are available for request (with 10k fee) at police stations and not at pachulsu. It will take two weeks release if done there but it can be available right away if it is directly applied for at the driving testing centers.
2. The KFV will need at least 2 hours to maximize the 20k entrance. And the parking is pre-paid, 2K (for a small car) either by card or cash. (ATM inside is KEB.)
3. ATC seminars can be worth the trip, mixing work with fun.
4. I've realized that the Confucian School that I was considering to write about has some conflicting points on my feminine POV so I will have do more online and library research before I finish my post on that. (along the lines of gender inequality and hierarchical social relations)
5. I've also searched the IG accounts of the other places that are on my list and they look promising.
Can't wait for the next meeting and be able to start the legwork before writing.
Quote for the day which I believe is not really from Einstein even if it's been widely credited to him. This is what seems to be how my driving for the day pretty much ended -- a lone wanderer in that Confucian school.
"The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been before."
