The part about convenience stores being a lifeline is so real lol. I swear I survived my first month on triangle kimbap and banana milk.

I moved here thinking I’d be out exploring every weekend. Reality? I’m usually just too tired from work and end up at the same fried chicken spot haha.

No way, that’s exactly how I felt about the subway system! Google Maps fails hard here but Naver Map is a lifesaver. Still get lost sometimes though haha.
