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?

韓国で働き始めてからちょうど1年が経ち、先週その節目を迎えました。最初に来た頃と比べて、日々の生活がとても変わったことに気づきました。交代勤務のせいで、今はあまり大きな週末の予定は立てません。仕事の後に洗濯をすること、静かに食事をすること、そして時差が合うときに家族に電話することみたいな、小さな習慣を大切にしています 🙂。一見するとシンプルですが、毎週同じように過ごせると期待しなくなってから、会社でもっと落ち着いて過ごせるようになったと実感しています。ここにいる誰かも、仕事のスケジュールのせいで、韓国を少しずつ楽しむようになった人はいますか？
