THE ARRIVAL STORE Pt. 2

So, after noticing that people have hit up my blog because of The Arrival Store google search, I decided to touch up on that.

I got to Jeonju University and nothing is here for me. I think it's because I might've had to tell them what I wanted (even though they listed things that they would bring me in the package). I needed to pay an additional $150 for a deposit for the cellphone, which I didn't. After doing additional research, I found out that there are way better plans out here in SoKo. I contacted the Arrival Store and they told me that it was fine if I opted out on the cellphone.

I guess I'll just have to give them my address when I find out where I live and do a Pt. 3!

IT'S OFFICIAL

I'm in South Korea!

TESOL CERTIFICATE

After stalking DHL for the past week (I had the window up and would just refresh it every hour or so), it finally came!

I was so nervous that my TESOL wouldn't reach me on time and I wouldn't get paid extra but YAY! I literally sat by my door, until 3 PM rolled around and my friend saw the truck pull up. The delivery man rang the door bell and I pretended that I had a life and took my time to answer it. HAPPY.

Now I am waiting at my other friend's until 5 AM to get a ride to the airport.

THE ARRIVAL STORE

I mentioned The Arrival Store before.

Here, I can order a bunch of stuff online that will get sent to me once I get to South Korea. I can get a cellphone right away (instead of waiting 3 weeks after I get my Alien Registration Card). They will give certain things right away (like a transformer) and then will ship my other needs (pillow, sheets, duvet, water filter) to my place when I find out my address. This way, it will save me a lot of room in my luggage and time.

I decided to make a sort of huge purchase. =)
