I passed my first full year working in Korea last week, and I noticed my daily life has become very different from when I first arrived. Because of rotating shifts, I don’t really plan big weekends anymore; I just keep small routines like laundry after work, a quiet meal, and calling family when the time zone works 🙂. It sounds simple, but it actually helped me feel more settled at the company because I stopped expecting every week to look the same. Anyone else here started enjoying Korea in smaller pieces because of their work schedule?

上周是我在韩国工作的第一个完整年，我注意到自己的日常生活和刚来时已经大不一样了。因为要轮班，我现在也不太会安排那种大型周末计划了；我只是保持一些小习惯，比如下班后洗衣服、安安静静地吃顿饭，以及在时差合适的时候给家里打电话 🙂。听起来很简单，但这其实让我在公司里感觉更踏实了，因为我不再期待每一周都要一模一样。这里还有人因为工作安排，开始把在韩国的生活拆成更小的片段来享受吗？
