Well a few weeks ago the idea of ​​writing a post to help migrants with the use of tools available online, but I really think this can also be useful post for exchange students, frequent travelers, backpackers, people who one way or another want to be in touch with loved ones and acquaintances, even within the same country.

I hope these tips can help you, if you have any more suggestion, send it to me by e-mail to include it.

This is written based on my experience when I travel out and some new things that I have known in recent months in Korea.

The day I went to Yongsan Electronic Market spinning saw BOOBIES passing the word on a screen.

I was wondering if I saw it right or wrong, until I realized it was true, the new LG plasma TV is called Xcanvas BoBos , and that's how I promocioban in all screens.

With that name does not enter the American market, we see that change.

Well after a month, I have thought proper to write a few small suggestions or tips for future students coming to Korea.

This is written based on my experience of being a first month here, if in the coming months I think it deserves an update I will.

1. Passport Photos: In many places you ask for them, and in my case in Ecuador are cheaper photos, so I recommend you bring passport photos.
2. Application for multiple entry: When I did get a visa for one entry to Korea, but here in the immigration office make the change without problems, so you use? because you used when you want to go visit other countries you do not re-enter Korea problem.
3. Change money at the airport: From what I've seen so far, at the airport change is higher than banks in Seoul, so it may recommend that you change your money at the airport, change when the eye was high there, and banks is lower, now do not know.
4. Deodorants: If, as you listen, here there is no deodorant at all stores, what Koreans have told me because of the food and your body does not use them, so well told in the shops are, but that if a price 10 to 15 USD, so I recommend that you bring from home, so bring the ones you like because there is no choice here.

Requested dishes and we listed first octopus boil, put the living bone in a pot hiviendo have them a few minutes and cut into pieces and eat it to this very rich truth.

Then he asked for another plate and brought alive with scissors just started to cut into parts, the tentacles were moving and eating has been said, I was cold, I said help yourself, so I grabbed a piece and stated in very but very rich.

Unfortunately I had no camera with me so I could not graphically documenting this, but I assure you again, I really liked.
