visa run, days leading up to the job


Hello! It's me, Iqra, again! Long time... no see... (Oops...)

Last time I left off, I had just spent my first few days in Korea. Well, we shall move on to the next major chapter of this trip... the visa run.

What is a visa run?

cdi training week / eternal suffering

CDI Training Week is honestly no joke. Since I had to commute from my apartment in Seongbuk to Olympic Park, which already took a good hour, I had to wake up at 6:15AM to get ready and catch the train. The training started at 8:30AM and officially ended at 5:30PM, but let's be real. It went on further.

first few days: settling in, figuring out the subway, etc.


Hello there!

So I (Iqra), have finally moved into my apartment, and for the most part settled down. It's still a mess here, but it's be only been two days, so that's to be expected. I'll guess I'll just start from the very beginning: the flight.

pre-training cdi, packing, and to-dos after arriving in incheon/seoul

For Chungdahm Institute (CDI), everyone is required to undergo a week-long training period before they are officially hired and can start their jobs. Even before this in-person training hosted in Seoul, we have to take an online pre-training course and pass it.

It was like taking the online TEFL course all over again. [Photo Source]

nyc visa

The visa process for the NYC South Korean Consulate was actually super easy. I completely over-prepared, but it's better than being unprepared, right?

rosacea triggers

This is more of a post to help my poor memory. After a dermatologist visit today, he said that I have rosacea and should avoid the following list. Let's see if I will actually be able to follow his advice...
