Today I discovered that if I wanted to live and work in Australia I would have to do it before I was 30! If you look older than about 30 in Korea, you're unlikely to get a job (they like the young ones!) and if I want to work in China I'm fine.
What does all this actually mean?
Well, at first I panicked - my age in Korea is 25, and so I only have a few years to get to Aus.
And then I remembered my true age...23! Thank Goodness :) I have a few more years.
All I can say is this:
Thank you Korea for making me feel old, but giving me more time than I thought I had!
As an aside, I've been looking at jobs elsewhere in the world. The idea of Dubai still interests me, I'm not sure why, but there are so many opportunities. Sometimes I wish that I only had to choose between 2 opportunities at a time. Don't you? That way you know that you have a pretty good chance of picking the right place. I could stay here, but then I'd be missing out on an awesome opportunity to see more of the world. I'm not sure I'm ready to settle just yet. Hmm...
Why are you 25 in Korea??
ReplyDeleteBecause when you are born in Korea you are automatically 1, and then you only get a year older on January 1st!
ReplyDeleteSo, if you were born on December 3rd, you would be one, but then merely weeks later you would turn 2 on 1st January!!! Interesting, non?
