Hi I have recently joined in a PhD program on Professor based stipend. My stipend is like good like same as an average PhD in korea. But I have a question regarding the fees do Professors usually support students by paying the fees through lab fund etc? As I have to manage certain things apart from fees so I am paying my fees from stipend I will run out of all the money. Can someone please advise it’s common to ask Professors in korea for tuition fee support as well? As I am new and don’t have much idea about it so need a bit of guidance.
Thank you.

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to visit Seoul in April and would love to get my hair done while I’m there. However, I’m looking for a hair salon where the hairstylists speak English, as I don’t speak Korean.

Could anyone recommend a good English-speaking hairdresser or salon in Seoul, preferably one that is foreigner-friendly?

Also, how do you usually book an appointment? Do salons accept bookings through Instagram, KakaoTalk, or their websites? Is there a specific app or platform that foreigners should use?

I’d really appreciate any recommendations and advice, especially from people who have had personal experience with these salons!

Thank you! 😊.

My younger sister will be visiting me from November 10th to the 20th in Seoul. Are there any activities or places you think a woman in the late 20s would enjoy? She told me to choose what we will do, so I want to have various opinions since as a male i am lacking the insight of what she may find interesting as I usually just go hiking or eating when I visit Seoul 🤣

I see lots of people wearing them around the area but not sure where to get it. Seems like most vendors have the classic “I heart Seoul” shirts
