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?

Minggu lalu, saya genap satu tahun bekerja di Korea, dan saya menyadari kehidupan sehari-hari saya sudah sangat berbeda dari saat pertama kali tiba. Karena jadwal kerja bergilir, saya tidak lagi benar-benar merencanakan akhir pekan besar; saya hanya menjalani rutinitas kecil seperti mencuci setelah kerja, makan dengan tenang, dan menelepon keluarga saat zona waktunya cocok 🙂. Kedengarannya sederhana, tetapi ternyata itu membantu saya merasa lebih tenang dan menetap di perusahaan karena saya berhenti berharap setiap minggu akan terlihat sama. Ada yang lain di sini yang mulai menikmati Korea dalam potongan-potongan kecil karena jadwal kerja mereka?
