The 14 day quarantine cost increased to 2.1 million.That’s so expensive! Why is it so much? I feel bad for those entering Korea.
yep i saw shocked at this. anyone hear why this happened?
100,000 won a day for housing + 50,000 won a day for 3 squares and other amenities. Not THAT bad.
.....no.
This is going to sound crass, but if you can't afford to spend 100k a night on lodging and 50k a day on food, you probably shouldn't be traveling. If it's for sponsored work, the employer should cover it. Permanent residents, spouses, dependents, citizens, etc. quarantine at home.
But EPiK applicants who even want to be recommended have to travel to Korea and pay for the quarantine
A topic for another thread, no doubt. (Kyndo?)
what?
nvm, double-checked and I misread the E-mail. If you get recommended you fly to Korea, and then pay for quarantine. I wonder if they have to pay the original number (1.4) or the updated number.
what does it mean to get recommended? did they massively overhaul the application system in the last few years? when i applied, you came to korea only after you already got the job (assuming you dont fail the drug/TB test or something)
He breaks out his phone and starts taking pictures of us. Okay, pretty f**king weird to take picture of people who are obviously trying to ignore you at the cafe, but whatever, you’re an ajoeshi, so do whatever you please, right? At this point I’m downing the jelly straws a bit more rapidly, not rolling the morsels in my tongue as I normally would and just gulping them down, hoping to expedite our exit. He continues to try to engage, but when that fails to do anything but to make her more uncomfortable, he thinks she’s just playing hard to get, so he ups his game. He moves in closer to give my daughter a good view of his phone to show her the photos he creepily just took of us. Neither of us look. Go the f**k away old man. At this point one of the ajjumas (no older than 45) thinks it’s a good time to reach over and touch my daughter’s arm and rub it with her pointer and middle fingers as she speaks in some dissonant 에교 voice. In the best of times, just don’t f**king touch strangers trying to enjoy their time at a cafe, but especially during covid, don’t even f**king think about it you dumb *****. At that point I just throw the remaining jellies in my mouth, plastic and all, and gather my things (daughter included) and go.
UGH. I don't even know what to say about my school's temperature reading devices.
