My address!

Dear friends and family,

I know I haven't written anything for a long time and believe me I have two more articles "almost ready", but there is a lot of other stuff going on. Yesterday, we had the first part of our Korean language exam (essay and 10 questions) and tomorrow we will have the second part of the exam (30 test questions - grammar, reading and then speaking). Fortunately, today is the National Foundation Day (개천절), so I was studying from early morning. Yay! Well, with a "short" break: I went to work out with Patricia and Terka (We send our greetings to UPOL 😎), I cooked my ramen, I wrote this post and I did a million of other things. But! If your only wish is to send me a letter or postcard, you can send it to my dormitory address.

In Korean:
(대한민국 - Korea in hangul, so it's only logical that you don't write it on the letter here, right?)
경북 경산시 진량읍 대구대로 201
대구대학교 국제1호관 1515호
안나 포볼나
38453

Transcription/romanization:
Anna Povolná
Room 1515, International Hose 1
Daegudae-ro 201, Gyeongsan, Gyeongbuk
South Korea 38453

Here in South Korea, they write addresses in a reversed order, so they put first the province, the city, then the street, etc. For example, my name in Korean is 안나 포볼나 and as you can see it is placed just before the postal code. But because you will probably send me the mail from abroad, I think it would be the best to write it like this so poor postmen in the Czech Republic and outside of Korea know where to send it:

경북 경산시 진량읍 대구대로 201
대구대학교 국제1호관 1504호
안나 포볼나
South Korea 38453

Of course you can write the whole address in a transcribed version, but it's possible that it will take longer to get here. If you write it in the hangul, maybe it'll be easier for Korean postmen to deliver it. Well, at least according to what I have found out in the depths of the Internet in the last 15 minutes, because I have the exam tomorrow, do you remember? But I have made promise last week therefore my sister Maky spammed me a lot that I owe her the address... Like seriously Áňa, what are you doing with your life?

Štítky:
Místo: Kjongsan, Severní Kjongsang, Korejská republika

Finding an apartment in Daejeon

I have many stories about which I want to write here, be patient. 😁 A lot happened during this winter break. I have been hiking and skiing a few times, I met many new and amazing friends, so even though I couldn't go for Christmas to Czech (especially to see my cute niece Zuzka 😔), I am happy here in Daejeon 😊 I don't really have any interesting photos of our apartment, so I'm sharing some photos from hiking with Oketch, which I haven't shared before.😅 Photo was taken by Oketch, autumn 2020, Daedunsan. But a few weeks ago, I have moved from the dormitory to an apartment with my Indonesian friend Ici. So, I think now it's time to tell you how we found our new apartment. As most of the people I know, we were also using 직방 and 다방 (mobile apps where you can easily look for an apartment). We have started to look for an apartment around the middle of December, knowing that we have to move out in the middle of February. We have seen some dirty and old apartments and al...

Getting vaccinated in Korea - 잔여백신 macro

As some of you may know, you can get vaccinated with "Remaining vaccine" (잔여백신) and Kakaotalk or Naver can send you a notification to get this free vaccine. I have been getting notifications for the last few weeks, but I didn't succeed to get this free vaccine, probably because I was always too slow to claim it. But we are in Korea, the country of the newest technologies, so obviously someone wrote a macro for this. 😁 And show some love to my friend Mahdi who helped me to debug this code and gave me all the information I needed for writing this article! He also provided the English version of the macro. Basically, you set up your conditions and let the program search for these remaining vaccines and if it finds one, it will automatically register you for it. IMPORTANT: Don't run the program if you don't have time to get vaccinated on the same day! 1. Open Chrome browser. 2.  Log in to your Kakaotalk account.  Stay Logged In should be ticked. 3. You will see a map...

Proč Korea? A co tu vlastně dělám?

안녕하세요? [annjŏnghasejo] Dobrý den! Chtěli jste vědět jak se mám v Jižní Koreji? Úplně skvěle. Strašně se mi tu líbí a užívám si to tady. A proč tu vlastně jsem? To se musíme vrátit do minulosti. Tenhle článek tedy bude hlavně o tom, jak jsem se sem dostala a co tu dělám. Když jsem byla na studiích v Tomsku, kde jsem mimochodem začala psát tento blog, tak jsem poprvé ve svém životě začala uvažovat o doktorském studiu. Na TPU v Tomsku jsem se toho od svých profesorů naučila strašně moc a přitom nejde o kdovíjak známou/slavnou školu. Změna prostředí je občas strašně důležitá a také jsem věděla, že to čemu bych se na PhD chtěla věnovat se v České Republice úplně nedělá. Jako první jsem měla v merku Ameriku, jak jinak. Jenže americká kultura mi nic moc neříká. Ale... Kpop, kdrama, jídlo atd. ...pak mě moje sestra uvrhla do světu korejských seriálu (kdrama), odtud nebylo daleko ke korejskému popu (kpop) a to už byl jen malinký kousek ke korejskému jídlu a korejské kultuře obecně. ...
