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!

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. =)

Went onto the Korean Embassy website to check the status of my Visa.
It's ready for pick up.
I'm going to book my flight right now.

TEFL MARK

*drum roll please* I passed!

(I was super impressed with the company that I did this course with, they were so quick and helpful)

I had to fill out a small Word document of my name, address and if I wanted it to say TEFL or TESOL. I tried doing my research and was uncertain... I decided to go with TESOL just so I could use that in Canada as well (I hope).

I also opted for the Express Mail which is an extra $50, but it is worth it for me because I need it to get to me ASAP.

So happy! One less thing to worry about!
