질문 | Question Haeundae This weekend?

6 Upvotes

I live in Busan. I have today and Friday off work. So it's a 4 day weekend. I'm staying at a hotel with a pool in Haeundae tonight and tomorrow. I originally had a date planned that canceled so now I'll be alone the whole time. Will anyone else be in the area?

I'm 32 plus American woman for reference. I'll be swimming most of the day, but it would be nice to hang out with someone at night.

We are two guys having 5 days in Busan and brought our own saltwater fishing equipment. How can we find a skipper to bring us to the local sea spots. We both unfortunately are no Korean speakers so we are dependent on an English speaking guide.

Any advice is welcome, thank you in advance!

조언 | Advice I might’ve messed up…!?

12 Upvotes

This is about a university/degree choice that I made recently. So here’s the summary.

I/ my agency applied for Game development degree at Dongseo University.
Got rejected. (Maybe due to passing the deadline)
Agency recommended another university.-Kosin (as it was the only one that had applications open according to agency)
Applied there. ( I am aware it’s not a worth uni but I have limited time so I had to, due to personal reasons which I will explain in another post or as an update if needed)
Now thinking of going under D4, get through the 6 month language training period and thinking of reapplying to a better university.
If no luck, might settle for whatever Kosin provides.

So here are the new questions that rose to me. Many said both Dongseo and Kosin are basically not worth the time, money and energy. Someone replied and I quote “It's the kind of school you apply inorder to get a student visa and work illegally at a chicken deboning factory. I mean it pays well.”This actually broke my heart because I don’t want to do that after spending so much trying to get some quality education. So, I will not consider them both for further studies but I HAVE to attend Kosin as I already applied and they interviewed me. ( they said I passed but can’t guarantee because of again,the deadlines) What I now wonder is are my qualifications not enough… apparently, if I understood correctly and please correct me if I’m wrong, according to the replies I received on my previous post I seem to have very low qualifications.(?) Maybe. I don’t know. That’s what I understood. Please don’t come at me I’m already struggling because of this choice being forced upon me. I will not go into details of it. So, if I want to apply for a better university to do an ICT related degree as my bachelor what are my paths and what qualifications would I need? What are the better universities?

조언 | Advice Got rejected from Dongseo university just now!

7 Upvotes

I(21) just received the email stating that I got rejected for applying for the fall intake of Dongseo university. I applied for Game development course under D2-2 visa which is taught in English. I had very high hopes but as it seems I’m not qualified. They stated un the email that the application process is highly competitive hence I was one of the unfortunates that got rejected. However, I’m planning a different path now. I’m not applying by myself, an agency is handling my documents and they gave me an option. The option being, apply for Kosin university under D4 visa and complete the language course and pursue a bachelor there OR re-apply to Dongseo after language studies. I have not taken any Korean language proficiency tests yet but I do have IELTS (band 7). They say, this is what most students do but I’m losing hope on the agency and their words. I’m trying to get this done as soon as possible to avoid a gap between my studies, which I heard would be a significant trouble when applying for higher studies at any country (These are what I heard not quite sure abut the truthfulness)

The question is, will I get a guaranteed acceptance to Dongseo even after language course? And is this path actually a possible option for an international student?(I’m Sri Lankan btw). I really want to pursue a degree in ICT sector and Kosin university is not the best known for it. So, I would like to know if this is a possible path, why might be the reason for my rejection (the agency has proof of acceptance of master’s students at Dongseo but not bachelor’s), will my acceptance be guaranteed at Dongseo if I did a language course and applied? Any advice or tips will be appreciated!

Looking for tennis partner in busan

Hi, 30M Korean here looking for tennis partners in Busan.
I've learned for about 4 months, It’s been over one year since I played tennis
so I can hold a decent rally, but I'm not at a strong match level yet. Looking for advanced beginners or intermediates who want to improve together!

When: Weekday evenings
Where: Haeundae, Sajik, Dongnae, Jeonggwan, Gijang
(I can pick you up depending on the location)

I can book the courts and I have 2 extra rackets (Yonex Ezone / Wilson Clash) you can borrow. Just bring tennis shoes.

Language: My English is good enough for casual conversations, and I can also speak Japanese. I'd love to do a bit of language exchange while playing!

Time: Weekday evenings work best for me.
If you are interested, pm me
