Raw Marinated Crabs & Black Pink ?! 😍🏃

Welcome to this week's newsletter! Hope you’re all doing well and learning lots of Korean and Japanese from Teuida~ I got a lot of requests from you all to do another AMA (Ask me Anything) and honestly, I’m surprised that you guys aren’t tired of these yet! Haha after this one, I will start doing some more topics like before

Also some of you pointed out last week that the Korean Age is not meant to be used starting 2023. Yes, officially we are getting rid of the Korean age sometime in the next year but I assure you it will take YEARS for people to actually implement this into daily life LOL. 🤣 Our ages have always been like this and it’s not just going to take one announcement for us to stop using the Korean age! Although officially it is “not used” people are still using the Korean age socially so it is still very relevant!

Anyways now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s get right into it! 

버스 and 지하철 are probably the most affordable ways to get around in Seoul, most people will go to work with these two methods! ❤️

As for 택시 you can just hail one off of the street or you can call one! There are so many apps but the one that seems to be the most popular (especially for travelers) seems to be Kakao Taxi! 😀

If you want to ride a 고속버스 you can’t use the same card as the one used for regular buses/subways, you need to purchase a separate ticket! 😎 You can do this online and the app is in english! 

Last but definitely not least, is the 기차! These are the long distance trains that we ride in Korea and among these is the famous KTX or bullet train – one of my personal favorite means of travel! 🚄

Yes, unfortunately we don’t have prom in Korean schools:( A lot of my Korean friends are actually so jealous that I got to have a prom (since I went to an international school in Korea) so they always ask me a lot of questions about the Prom that I had and the process of getting ready and doing promposals and stuff.

Maybe one day there will be but no it’s not a thing here! TBH seniors in Korea are really busy preparing for the college entrance exam and it is the biggest and most important year so that’s kind of where all their focus is. 🤔

Guys. Let me put you on to the BEST dish if you guys like seafood. It’s called 양념게장 (seasoned raw crab). It is literally the best thing on the planet and I really really enjoy having it with rice and honestly even on its own! I’ve been seeing it on tiktok a lot more recently so hopefully it is available wherever you guys are!
