Congratulations!

Are you going to visit Seoul to be with your sweety for Interview ?

It's not mandatory, I think.

But it is recommended just in case.

Hey moonhut! I wish i can.. but because of our long distance love ~ i have used every single SICK DAY and VACATION DAY i have ~ and in addition to that for the past year.... we have managed to see eachother every 2 months! its extremely difficult... sometimes we would fly to a different country and meet there for a weekend get away! Can you imagine the COST? In addition to the phone cards and long distance relationship... cost... i think since we are going to be together forever ~ i'm going to conserve and just start decorating our small home when he arrives ~ =) ....

I think he should be fine.. He speaks almost perfect english and he's been to the states for over 7-8 times. And he has an awesome job back in Seoul.... there shouldn't be any reason he would want to give up his life ~ if it wasn't for love!

So.... i wish i could...

Been there, done that. ^^

Once upon a time, I used to receive KRW 100,000 gift certificate from KT even though I used DaCom for international phone calls.

Also my darling at the time got financial aid from room-mate for phone-bill.

We spent 4~5 hours over the phone, and I was acting as DJ such as playing music, and whispering lyrics...

I spent more than half of my earning for phone calls, and airfare.

Even I had unofficial deal with my boss for extra vacation days and I had work overtime to make up.

Long distance relationship is so hard.
