뜻 밖의 초대.

한 달 전, 이태원에 있는 라이너스 바베큐라는 곳에서

식사를 하였다.

그날 따라, 음식의 맛이 별로였다.

"이게 내가 아는 라이너스가 맞나.."

나와 에이미 둘 다 맛에서 이상함을 느꼈었다.

특히, 맥앤치즈..

너무 짜서 못 먹을 정도 였다.

.

이번 외식은 망...

.

그러고 집으로 돌아왔었다.

.

.

.

 

갑자기 뜬금없이 에이미가 라이너스에 초대됬다고 했다.

이유인 즉슨, 라이너스에서 저녁을 먹고 집으로 돌아온 날,

에이미가 라이너스 오너에게 페북메세지로 피드백을 남겼었단다.

그리고, 몇 주 뒤인 이번 주에 미안하다는 답장과

초대를 받았던 것이다.

오...Free meal!.

.

.

그 후,

2020년 1월1일, 라이너스에서

플래터, 맥앤치즈, 프라이드피클, 그리고 치즈 비스킷 볼까지

맛있게 식사를 하였다.

물론, 맥앤치즈는 더 이상 짜지 않았고,

고기도 dry하지 않고 맛있었다.

 

 

 

I am the wife of a korean and my journey to Korea started when I many years ago was interested in Kpop and anime. Fast forward 4-5 years I had graduated college and was finding it hard to get a job due to the economy at the time in America and a friend of a friend mentioned they had worked one year in Korea....so I started looking into it and I had decided to go to either Japan or Korea for a year and travel and work. I felt it could add to my resume and I loved travel so what did  I have to lose?! Japan tends to like teachers with teaching experience, so I was getting job offers in Korea quicker and after considering several I accepted one.

 

Here are the things employers in Japan and Korea both want:

BA degree

Native speaker from the major English speaking countries(America, Canada, Australia, and alot of Europe).

Clean criminial background check

Proof your degree and background check are real(in the United States this is called an apostille)

They prefer some experience with children even if it is volunteer work

 

After getting all these documents together and apostilled the job and my visa in the first stage were approved and I was able to get started preparing for the actual move.

 

Things I recommmend

-Ask for pictures of the housing the school has for you

-Speak to previous employers

-Search up the school to make sure its not on a blacklist

-Join groups on facebook for expats and ask for the reputation of said schools

 

Most schools are good, but some are not and you can be stuck in a bad position..sometimes the best way to get a good position is join one of the facebook groups and have people get you connected to reputable jobs that pay taxes, pay well, good housing, insurance, pension, flights, and vacation time.

인피니티워를 보고 난 후, 문득 이런 생각이 들었습니다.

나는 왜 아이언맨 피규어가 없는거지?

내가 마블을 진짜 좋아하는게 맞나?

그래서 일단 아이언맨 슈트가 어떤 것들이 있는지 살펴본 뒤에 그 중 가장 제 스타일과 가까운 것을 골랐습니다.

아이언맨 마크 45 !

일단 완전한 슈트형의 피규어는 처음이라 약간 저렴한 킹아츠 브랜드를 선택했네요.

핫토이는 진짜 너무 비싸기에..

Some thoughts came to my mind after I watched the movie, Avengers: Infinity War…….

“Why do I not have any Iron Man figurines?  How could I prove myself as a big fan of Marvel heroes without having any Marvel hero figurines?”

Right away, I started to look for what kind of Iron Man figures there were, and then I picked one that was close to what I imagined my ideal figurine to be.

That was Iron Man Mark 45!

First, I picked the King Arts brand because it was my first time to buy a figurine that was full body, also it was a more reasonable price in comparison with any Hot Toys product. Hot toys products are stupidly expensive.. :(

LR 건전지가 안에 들어 있어, LED 점등을 위해 따로 구입할 필요는 없습니다.

손 루즈와 함께 데미지 파츠 루즈들도 같이 들어있네요.

This includes batteries, so you don't have to go buy the batterys for the LED.

There are also extra parts for the hands, and parts that have marks on them to reflect damage.

.

포징을 해봅니다.

posing..

LED를 켜줍니다. LED를 하나하나 다 켜줘야 합니다 ㅋㅋㅋ...

LED on! I had to turn on each LED by my hand. omg...

신기하게, 발바닥에도 LED가 있습니다.

Interestingly, there are LED units at the bottom of the feet.

와...말이 필요없네요..

Also, the back is just as awesome as the front.

가슴과 등 안쪽 디테일도 꽤 잘 되어 있습니다.

It is also quite detailed inside the chest and the back.

첫 아이언맨 피규어로서 대만족입니다.

다이캐스팅 제품이라 그런지 묵직하고 굉장히 고급스럽습니다.

디테일도 상당하구요.

핫토이에 비해 크기가 작다고들 하시지만, 핫토이보다 3인치작은 9 인치라 그렇게 작지도 않습니다.

가격도 핫토이 다이캐스트 제품에 비해 절반이거나 1/3 수준이구요.

다만 LED를 전부키고자 할 땐, 너무 귀찮네요 ㅠ..

하나하나 뚜껑 열어서 스위치를 켜야하니..

손재주 있으신분들은 상시전원으로 개조시키시면 좋을 것 같습니다.

I love that  this was my first Iron Man figurine.

It has a good weight to it as a figurine, and because it was made by using the diecasting method. 

it also looks really detailed.

Everybody says the products of King Arts brand are smaller than the one of Hot Toys, but it is only 3 inches gap in height , so, it is not that small, though.

First above all, the price of the products King Arts brand are almost half or 1/3 of the products of Hot Toys brand.

The only thing you might not like is that you need to open every cover to turn on the LED lights.

If you are really good at cutstomizing things, you'd better customize the battery units to keep the lights on permanently.
