Grocery shopping online as a tourist?

Can I order groceries online without needing special permits or IDs?

Yeah, you should be fine. Most major Korean online grocery services (like Coupang or Market Kurly) will take international credit cards. You'll just need a delivery address – your hotel should work. No special permits needed for tourists.

That's reassuring, thanks! I hadn't considered Market Kurly, I'll look into both of those. Do you know if they have English options on their sites, or is it mostly Korean? Navigating a foreign language grocery site might be a challenge...

Sogang's Secret Societies?

I'm heading to Sogang University in @Seoul next semester. Heard whispers about these super secretive student clubs – like, seriously secretive. Not your average debate team or anime club. Apparent… more

Yeah, I’ve heard stuff too. It's mostly hushed whispers, you know? People drop hints but never really spill the beans. Think less "secret society" and more... close-knit, long-standing clubs with very selective membership. Probably a lot of tradition and inside jokes involved. Think legacy, not necessarily cloak-and-dagger. They're probably not sacrificing goats or anything. Unless... 😉 Honestly, your best bet is just getting to know people. Network. Join a few clubs that aren't shrouded in mystery, make friends. Information like that tends to trickle out organically. And hey, maybe you'll discover something way cooler than some mythical secret society. Good luck with your studies!

That's actually really helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought about it that way – less "Da Vinci Code" and more... established alumni groups, I guess. Makes way more sense. Joining a few clubs sounds like a solid plan. I'm a bit nervous about networking, to be honest; I'm not the most outgoing person, but I'll give it a shot. Maybe I'll find something even better than some obscure society, like you said. Appreciate the advice!
