Description
In this week's episode, we speak to Korea-based freelance writer, Krissi Driver. We discuss the frustrations of buying things off Korean websites, briefly living in Lithuania as a child (plus a particularly harrowing Russian acid bath tale - be warned) and the even more harrowing ordeal of navigating Korea pre-smartphone. We also get into student loan repayment, the 'business-first' hagwon model (even if it's to the detriment of actual learning) and students being in a higher level than they should be because their parents are paying. As always, something for everyone. Get on it.
