Apparently there's a small area in Ulsan that it works to because of the cross-over of Japans maps. My friend was able to play.
My hair is too dry. I think it's the water, this wasn't a problem before I came to S. Korea. I need to buy a filter for my shower. ;c
Quote from: Pecan on August 22, 2016, 10:33:59 amArrive back in Korea, get to my stop on the airport bus, try for 30+ minutes to get a taxi home, but no taxi will take me..I have 4 bags. Whatever.I walk two bags ahead 30 meters, then walk back, get the other two bags and walk them ahead 60 meters, rinse and repeat (this has happened before, so I'm not blowing a fuse).I have a nice sweat going within a minute due to the humidity and heat.After 10 minutes of this baggage relay, this lovely young Korean girl, nicknamed "Kimberly" approached me to offer to help me. I explain about the taxi situation, so she offers to help wheel my bags home. I politely refuse her offer, as she is wearing a dress and high heels, it is extremely hot and humid, and my bags are maxed out at 32 kilos/70 pounds.I continue, but after a couple of minutes, this "Kimberly" returns and insists on helping me, so I accept.I do my best to make small talk while we muscle the bags toward my house.She seems "normal", so my initial fears subside.Once home, I asked her to wait, so I could quickly run inside (I wanted to give her a small token of my appreciation in the form of a bottle of wine). She thought it too much, but accepted.Thank you "Kimberly"!On another note, electric bill from July: 683 kWh= 282,940! Not looking forward to August, as it is already over 600 kWh :(I have the AC on all the time and my monthly bills are 18-20 bucks. How on earth are yours so high? Are you in a 4 bedroom?

MUCH better, and when you see the shit in the filter...
I realize you are simply venting, but have you ever considered actually being more prepared.Both of the issues you have mentioned thus far this semester could have been easily prevented had you prepared.How about checking the room prior to class?
Oh get out of here with your, "Well I would never make that mistake" condescension.
