Yesterday I got my first salary in Korea, and it felt more emotional than I expected. I treated myself to a simple dinner after work and just sat there thinking, wow, I really made it through the first month 🙂

Yesterday I got my first salary in Korea, and it felt more emotional than I expected. I treated myself to a simple dinner after work and just sat there thinking, wow, I really made it through the first month 🙂 There is nobody from my country in my office, so at first I thought I might feel a bit out of place, but actually it pushed me to talk more with everyone and listen carefully. Small things like coworkers explaining lunch menus or checking if I got home okay made this month feel warmer than I imagined. Just wanted to share a small happy update for anyone starting a new job here. Take it one day at a time, you’re doing better than you think.
