Korea resident Japanese "Old Korea was easy to live"

“What I felt about Korean life”

It was easy to understand in chronological order

from the viewpoint of "price".

HN "Korea resident Japanese".

Both the first and second episodes were for Koreans.

In association with Koreans,

It is also a way to avoid falling into the so-called Korean side.

The third bullet has changed the viewpoint somewhat,

I will write about what I experienced in Korean life.

"I don't feel like living in Korea ..."

I think some of you mentioned that, but

"If you know him, you won't lose a hundred battles."

So I experienced Japanese people living in Korea

I made Korean life a simple time series.

It would be appreciated if it would be helpful for everyone.

Old Korea was easy to live in

When a Japanese resident in Korea passes to Korea

(The Lee Myung-bak era)

Most people

"Is there anything good to live in Korea?"

You will wonder.

Japanese people living in Korea began to live

There were quite a few good places in 2009 , but

Recently, the benefits of living in Korea have decreased .

When a Korea resident Japanese resident first went to Korea,

Just because Korea is in economic crisis , 100 yen 1700 1700 won.

If you exchange 50,000 yen at the airport,

you will receive about 80 10,000-won bills.

I can Remember,
I can not get in my wallet put won bills away
and won bills in the my bag.

The beginning of 2009 before the 50,000 won bill is issued

( It was issued in June 2009 ),

I felt a strange feeling, "I was made a great rich man."

At that time, Korea is cheap.

For example, the taxi fare is 2,000 won,

Nigiri Sushi for 2 people is 10,000 won (only 20 flats for flatfish),

The Western bar (Muckaran 12 years) of the bar is 180,000 won,

The cigarette was 2,000 won.

At a store that happened to be Japanese people,

With Pajeong (in Japan, it is chijimi)

The six rice cookers who entered Yakang were 20,000 won.

In prices (except for bar) which can not be converted to Japanese yen,

Once again I reconfirmed, "I'm getting really rich!"

However, imports are expensive,

Japanese products are sold at roughly three times the price of Japan.

For example, 5,000 yen sake is 150,000 won in Korea.

Also from around 2010 ,

Korea quickly recovers from the Lehman shock,

Exports were strong as exchange rates were also weak.

Salaries and incentives

Because there are a lot of (like extraordinary bonus),

I honestly thought, "How good a country I came to."

Also, as I wrote in the second

We are blessed with Koreans who are “friendly to Japanese people”,

About two or three years since I came to Korea was the best time.

Park Geun-hye Presidential period

Since 2013, he has become President Park Geun-hye .

As Japan left the yen stronger,

There are also some allowances for Japanese people living in Korea

(Japanese people living in Korea have their salary paid in yen),

The wings were good too be living large ,

As the Abe administration was born, the yen depreciated,

Japanese spending in Korea has gradually decreased.

What's more trouble than

that is that Korea's prices are rising at a tremendous pace .

Around 2014

The taxi fare is 2600 won.

11,000 won (24,000 won for two people), one person at Nigiri Sushi

The Western bar (Muckaran 12 years) in the bar is 300,000 won,

The cigarette is now 4500 won.

It can not be compared in general because stores and areas are different,

It is quite expensive compared to when I came to Korea.

Especially the price increase of cigarettes

Even 2000 won at once (before that, it rose about 500 won once)

As It raised it, everyone started to smoke electronic cigarettes.

Japanese people living in Korea are on their return to Japan

I bought cigarettes at a duty-free shop.

There was not so much pain.

Furthermore,

to put an end to the economic situation of Japanese people living in Korea,

Thanks to Abenomics, the yen dropped to 100 yen 890 won.

It is about half compared to when Korean resident Japanese came.

I would say that

Do not go with " be living large ", etc.

I invited a Korean man's subordinates to stop having a personal dinner.

At the same time

Japanese people living in Korea suffer from a disease called psoriasis vulgaris,

The injection medicine for the treatment is insurance adaptation

Approximately 1.5 million won per one

(This is an expensive medicine

with a drug price close to 500,000 yen even in Japan)

Money was required four times a year.

In Korea, there is a system that can cover medical expenses almost

with private insurance ,

The upper limit is 250,000 won for hospital admission and 3 million won

for hospitalization.

As it is only a single injection, it will be treated at the hospital in time,

Then, even if insurance is applied, the expense is large.

I decided to hospitalize in consultation with my teacher.

I managed to keep it down with minimal spending.

The present (from 2017 )

In Korea, it is designated as intractable disease,

It costs only 1 million won a year

(It is because drug prices are too high

for ordinary Koreans and they can not be used for treatment ).

Applying private insurance costs almost no money .

Korea has few hospital beds

and can not easily receive hospitalization treatment .

However, it is in university hospital

that Japanese resident in Korea was hospitalized,

In addition, this injection was only recently approved.

The teacher asked me, "Is it OK to make a dissertation?"

(In Korea, such a test body is called " Malta ")

( Malta , subject of human experiment of 731 units of Japanese army )

So I had to get a lot of tests,

One day hospitalization was permitted.

By the way, with Japanese living in Korea in Japan

I think many people are suffering from the same illness.

I think if the Japanese government can do the same as Korea,

I would be much appreciated.

Park Geun-hye President's slump to the present

Just before the Park Geun-hye administration falls down

Anyway, Sunday night was lonely.

At that time, Japanese people living in Korea live in the city where Korea's second government office is located,

A demonstration

of Park Geun-hye's resignation was held every Sunday evening.

Japan reports in Seoul city

Although only the situation in Gwanghwamun has been reported,

In fact, it seems that there were demonstrations here and there.

(However, it took place in the town of a Japanese resident in Korea

The demonstration was only about 100 people,

and I thought it was honest "sorry"

At the same time, bird flu was also prevalent.

Price of egg at this time is 10 pieces 3500 won

(This is still expensive ...),

Suddenly, the price has risen to 10 thousand won.

Then I remember

that other food items also went up due to the piggyback.

A Japanese resident in Korea says

"I want to have a delicious dinner today"

When I think, I cook at home.

However, the price of food is high in Korea .

Even if you cook the same food as a restaurant,

it costs about twice as much .

On the contrary, Korean restaurants were unusually cheap,

From this time, even if you eat at the restaurant,

It's a little cheaper than the dishes I made myself .

Also, the decline of the Korean economy has

become noticeable since around 2016 ,

Prices continue to rise as ever .

The taxi fare is currently 3,600 won.

31,000 won for nigiri sushi

(However, unlike the store mentioned above,

Many types of materials also have a sushi-like appearance),

Western-style liquor (Makkalan 12 years) of the bar is 420,000 won

Cigarettes are on hold at 4,500 won.

Life in Korea is ...

When I first came to Korea,

On weekdays, I could eat all three meals at the company,

On Saturdays and Sundays, I have no choice but to eat at home.

(Of course you may go to work and eat, but ...)

The letters written in the beginning (Hangul)

I can not read at all, and I can not understand words (Japanese and English),

Anyway, I was scared to go out and I was withdrawn.

After one month I brought in from Japan

Food such as cup noodles was attached,

and the weekend of only water and coffee began.

As it may be, "I can not stay this way",

I tried to learn Korean.

So the Korean resident Japanese arrived

The conclusion was to learn Korean at a bar.

If it is a bar, employees are for service

I thought that I had to talk even if I forced it.

I think that I was stuck in spite of thinking from now,

A bar for courage

(It is called BAR in Korea).

Then there is a student of the university student

There was (of course a woman).

She was able to speak English.

Conversation with Korean resident Japanese in English

Translated to Korean, I can hear it a little bit.

(Of course the electronic dictionary is required)

Perhaps like a Japanese resident in Korea

I think Japanese don't learn Korean very much in English.

(By the way, she studied in Canada half a year later)

In addition, because there were few Japanese people,

I remember your kindness and kindness

to treat Japanese people living in Korea.

After all, to learn foreign languages

I have to develop my listening skills while talking with natives

I understood that I said it was no good.

(Of course, Japanese people living in Korea are also men,

To teach Korean from young women is

I do not deny that there was an effect to bring up motivation
