Long story short... I had to fly back to the UK to transfer funds to my new (business) bank account here in Korea and then certify it. When you make a transfer of funds between countries, it generates a record called an MT103, and the Koreans want this (among other bits of paper) notarised and then apostilled. Of course, this was the height of the holiday season and only some of the most expensive hotels were available in Cambridge (where my bank is), so just staying there for ten days cost me ₤1,000.00+... and everything there had to go on my VISA... and although legalised docs have now started arriving out here, it's going to take weeks to get them all out here.

Meanwhile, yesterday was the expiry date on my job seeker visa (I got back from England just three days previously after a ten-hour flight from Munich, had to wait there, like fifteen hours, too...), so I had to get all of the docs for that together post-haste and scramble in for a non-reserved slot. Thankfully we were able to get that all done in about twenty minutes, but I really hate going even to the friendly Korean Immigration Offices.

Anyway, that's another six months of residency.

You might be interested in what is apparently allowed by the (D-8, investment) visa. According to my lawyer (!) here, it covers:

* voice actor
* publishing business
* education
* educational video production

Not quite what I had envisaged, but we all have to work within limits.

All of this took place in the lead-up to the annual Chuseok (Harvest) Festival, in which most things are essentially dead from tomorrow (Saturday) until Wednesday next week. These last two weeks have been so tiresome and stressful, I think I'll just stay home this weekend...

On Mel Waters's property in the Manastash Ridge West of Ellensburg, Washington, there's a peculiar hole in the ground that resembles a well, but it's not a well. It served as a trash dump for Mel and previous property owners, where everything from garbage to broken appliances and old tires found its way into the depths.
