One of my students drew me in class (Lol at her giving me super Korean aegyo sal )
Wasn't able to access the internet through the school's network with my personal computer because none of the teachers knew what the wifi password was and the computer tech guy wouldn't give it to me because he didn't think a mac would be granted access. No matter how many times I explained that as long as my computer can see the network all I needed was the password, he couldn't get around the idea that the school's network would just outright reject my computer for not being a PC. And I'm all like, "How is this the computer tech guy?"
Haha I've encountered this too, it's great. Everyone at my school was totally convinced that my iPhone couldn't connect to the school network purely because it's an iPhone, a lot suggested I just got buy a Samsung But it was the wrong password the whole time

I once surprised him with how I could play a media file on a media player that wasn't GOM). I feel like the school is just too cheap or something to actually invest in a real tech guy. But at least everyone is nice. xD They're not too hard to impress, makes life way easier.

And I'm all like, "How is this the computer tech guy?"Fast forward to today, my school computer is broken so I've been taking my personal computer to class this whole week. Kids are excited about it, most haven't seen a mac in person before, and they want to see it in action. So they give me the wifi password, and tada! Amazing how the students are more helpful than the adults. I think from now on I'm just going to bypass the teachers and adminstrators, and go straight to the students whenever I need this kind of information.

Google chrome for the win. Typing in yout into the searchbar and having it come so I can press enter instead of navering "유투브" for the win.
Just so you know in the future if something like this ever comes up. If you have a computer that automatically connects to a wireless network you can find out the password by going into the wireless settings. There is a little box you can check that says "show password" or "show characters". Once that is checked it will show the password instead of the usual "*******"

I literally love how Korea has made credit cards into like an awesome game where you can try to max out your discounts by finding the perfect card(s). But in Korea, I get a 10,000 per month discount on public transportation, 10% off my phone and internet bill, 5% off two taxi rides every month, 50% off Starbucks (up to 20,000 discount per month), 10% off convenience store purchases and 10% off Gmarket and Auction.Plus points which can be converted to cash.If you're someone who likes to micromanage your finances, Korea is a playground of awesome toys.
Someone bought ice cream for the office again. I guess this is their method of combating summer heat On a side note though, why does cookies and cream ice cream here always have coffee undertones???
