Third, related to drivers is the intense driving. Usually I don't get car sick but the couple times I had to ride a taxi, I felt so nauseous and had a headache after finishing my ride. The drivers drive pretty roughly (with several brake jolts) which probably caused the nauseous feeling (which has also transferred slightly to buses as well). Lastly, the issue regarding foreign vaccines. Although my friends and I have been fully vaccinated in the US, some restaurants have told us we can't dine in as our group (the limit of 4 people after 6pm if 2 people are fully vaccinated) because we haven't been vaccinated in Korea (even with proof of our vaccine cards). It is kind of saddening as there are places we would like to try but can't because of those limits. As for my classes, I'm pretty bummed that all my classes are pre-recorded lectures that are uploaded onto Ewha's class website, Cyber Campus. The professors set a deadline to watch the lectures, usually around 72 hours - 1 week since it's been posted. The pros of having pre-recorded lectures is definitely being able to make your own schedule but the cons is that I don't get the opportunity to meet my classmates. Majority of the classes are individual work and only one of my classes have group work but unfortunately won't be happening till later on the semester. On top of my four classes at Ewha (Int'l Business Law 35688, Managing Organization Behavior 30818, The Korean Economy 35731, and The Foundation of R Programming for Social Problem Solving 11367), I am also taking 2 classes at UH Manoa (HRM 453 and POLS 307B). At first I thought it would be difficult to balance all my classes but with my very flexible schedule, I am glad that I have been able to manage everything!
