Didn't know anyone, but I went to university to study some Spanish. And and that's where I met. Some are basically so yeah, that was
spk_1: 2:55
my very first Spanish class. I just know. Although there's a Oh, I know. Well, that was all my Spanish.
spk_0: 3:04
That's a line you and you know, do you speak fluent Spanish?
spk_1: 3:07
No. I don't think about trying better than better than before.
spk_0: 3:11
So should we just start with Spanish? All our common stuff,
spk_1: 3:14
like gases. Um, Theo, eyes
spk_0: 3:32
sweet. I barely understand any that I could pick up some of that, but But we're not going toe. Continue the oh so many people you
spk_1: 3:43

Your Spanish is still very, very good. She's She's being modest.
spk_1: 4:02
So much money for that.
spk_0: 4:04
Yeah, it was expensive. If it was definitely expensive. Good experience Way met a few others as well, Like another guy named Jimmy and Cielo. A teacher. She she's actually So I'm going to do some actually more classes with her. But I haven't done them yet? I'm going to I'm going to do some or online on Skype because obviously I'm not really here. Imagine anymore, but yes. Oh, okay. Let's go back to Well, yeah, but let's get back to you. Were you were saying you were in Korea and you're here to learn English? So you moved to Australia. So how many years ago did you move to Australia? How? How many years ago?
spk_1: 4:51
Before in before Columbia's over. Almost off over 10 4 years ago.
spk_0: 5:00
Four years ago. So you went OK? I didn't know that. So you went from straight from Australia, Teo to manage in
spk_1: 5:07
Australia. And that stopped by Korea to see my family and moved Colombia.
spk_0: 5:14
So four years ago, you moved to Australia, moved to Melbourne? Yes. And did you study at the university that
spk_1: 5:21
I used in Korea before I Moto Australia. I used to work in American company in a and naturally I want Teo improbable my angles more to want it to work in another country. So So Australia had never been there. And also I could work with my student beach, so I moved to just English class. I took a just English class starting, and I want to see what's going on because I never been there before.
spk_0: 5:53
So when you did you your student visa, English visa be able to work, then in Australia?
spk_1: 6:00
Yeah, I think among a lot of angles. Countries, I think I was really is thie. Almost only one. You can work legally with a student, So I thought, you know, not just studying in a classroom. So working there to begin with were all the people like you. That would be really great.
spk_0: 6:20
Yeah. Yeah, that's awesome. So how many hours a week could you work? Like much on the visa? How many hours did they give you to work?
spk_1: 6:27
I think I think 20. I'm not. I'm not sure I know, but I think to any 20 hours per week
spk_0: 6:38
That's pretty good. So that so? That's basically so you're about you're able to g o to Australia, study English and work 20 hours a week, So that could pretty much fund some of your study.
spk_1: 6:51
Yes. I thought that would be a great way to improve my English. Actually, for Korea, there are better options. Like it's called walking all their Beecher but that's I think a maximum like I don't know. They're changing this moment, but at the time and then I applied it. There was sorry, one or storey too. But at the time I already was not qualify. So I decided to apply to with my student visa.
spk_0: 7:19
Okay, Cool. And how did it go? Did you meet some cool friends and cool people in Melbourne?
spk_1: 7:23
Definitely. It's not only about what around people they're like Austria later, literally like international. So they're a lot of I met German friends, friends, friends And of course, there are lot of Koreans Japanese, Chinese, India's there. Police e had the best India fully there from my friends really well and one of things. Actually, I worry about to learn English in Australia because I was really worried about There are terminations, right? S o. I was trying to avoid the this group, but when I read, I met a lot of Colombia's Latinos like who speak Spanish. So I need a in the cholesterol with full of Colombians, Argentinians till any inns eso multicultural. But as a Korean South America is really far away in it. So to me, it's very good Zoric and it's very different. Interesting. Much more than just
spk_0: 8:36
way don't have much culture, Dio Actually, our culture is pretty much our cultures literally like a ll the people coming into our country, you know, besides a couple of squeeze and a couple of snags in the barbecue, that's about everything else comes from from from you guys like anyone else.
spk_1: 9:02
You know? Actually, Australian culture is very mixed culture. All immigrant actually like you to write
spk_0: 9:14
my father. Yeah, but yeah e what it's like So did you do all your studies in Melbourne Or did you Did you go to Sydney to study or Brisbane? Or did you travel? And
spk_1: 9:28
actually my plan was that state the Melbourne and love to see me because I like the CD But Long Sigh get into Melbourne. I love to be Stay there so I decide to stay longer. So then But I visit my friend in Sydney just for vacation Two weeks. But I love that, but I'm still Yes, I still like mobile. So I went back to Babylon and finishing my beach.
spk_0: 9:52
How long did it take you to do studies to learn English?
spk_1: 9:55
English in my course was like Thomas course, but they allowed me Beata Teo. 13 months,
spk_0: 10:01
13 months s.
spk_1: 10:02
So I stayed in one year and one month.
spk_0: 10:05
So did it take you one year and one month to learn English? Or did you learn it within 10 months or
spk_1: 10:10
Well, I just finished my course in temples and later I just work war and had a vacation in with other my friends that I had been in there.
spk_0: 10:22
So you learn English in 10 months? Yes, that's pretty good. Pretty good, eh? So what was your favourite part about Melbourne? Botheryou coffee. Definitely. Really like that, Z, I've heard that before, but, like, Okay, we're sitting here in Colombia. I'm drinking your coffee right now. Colombian. Now, what's the difference between a Colombian coffee bean and the coffee
spk_1: 10:47
and go a long way out? They have a great like Tuffy been for you know that I haven't realised I either. I heard it from my Columbia friends. Who has who holds a sphincter, actually motivate the coffee farm. And they told me the the best coffee, the best quality of coffee in Colombia. They import to other courses.
spk_0: 11:08
Yeah, that's right. It's exported out
spk_1: 11:09
of S O. They have coffee. Best barista.
spk_0: 11:15
Exactly. So the barista eso we've got good barista is we know how to make good coffee. And yet the beans exported from Colombia to Australia. But then the prices in Australia for coffee is ridiculous. You pay for a lot $6 for a lot
spk_1: 11:34
for me because I don't know Hill. Is there anybody in Korea's? Like in Korea? Coffee is super expensive for me. A coffee in Australia is super suit.
spk_0: 11:49
All right, Good
spk_1: 11:50
quality coffee.
spk_0: 11:51
What is that? Why do you think that is? Why is it so expensive in Korea?
spk_1: 11:57
Well, we don't have a nature. We don't have a milk is imported
spk_0: 12:07
from Australia. Probably interesting. Interesting. So Okay, cool. So let me just for the audience. Are you from South Korea or North Korea?
spk_1: 12:20
Living. But thank you for asking. No, actually, I think a lot of ideas is like wondering Yes, whenever we mentioned in Korea. Actually, the current cover month was to be preferred, like South Korea and North Korea. But we meaning like South Korea, because definitely North Korean can get out with their country's Yes, I'm South Korea
spk_0: 12:42
So Kim Jong Il's know your uncle?
spk_1: 12:44
Well, actually, my Korean never Sorry. My career name is Kim Chung on exactly the same name with North Korea Dictator. But you know No, definitely you guys. You know my name. Kiev is one ofthe one of war in Korea. The family name, the common name. And that my name Chung is Vaughn of very common name for girls
spk_0: 13:09
just like South Korea from South Korea. Also. So that's good to clear that up already. Oh, Chinese e o. So Okay, so let's go back to Melbourne here in Melbourne. You love the coffee, the culture coffee on how it's made in all that. You met some cool friends down there? Yes. So what else? What else? Who else did you meet? Was it like did you spend the whole 10 months in Melbourne before he travelled? Or did you study?
spk_1: 13:41

Which of the CBD Jackley CB dissenter of the CBD? Oh, Melbourne. So that Agatha, all the customers from everywhere. And also Mabel had a lot of fastballs and the Melbourne Cup, the Tommies, then every season. So we never have some the events off the city. I had a lot of customers from everywhere, so I could I could learn how to deal with how to talk to with the All the customers are from different work. And we became friends as well. And I think that was a very good place to know everybody, every culture, without any prejudice.
spk_0: 14:42
It was a good practise
spk_1: 14:44
in English and also at the same time. You have a lot of regular customers, and I there was a chance to get to know the rear. Australia people.
spk_0: 14:57
Awesome. So after Melbourne, where did Ugo?
spk_1: 15:01
Um I actually would Teo Australia way to settle down Karnal. Then I like I said, I met a lot of Latino friends over there, and then one off friends became my boyfriend. Wait turn not Columbia. E should not that Wei had Tio. We have to talk about it because I want to stay here. But actually for him a time when we met his bees, I was almost finishes. So he had to decide. He had to renew we just to stay with me. Or he has to move to go back to his country. Because as a Colombian, it was different position from me
spk_0: 15:56
in
spk_1: 15:56
Korea, circumstances, different circumstances. Like e. I didn't know that before, so yeah, so anyway so we we have to know each other in a very short time. So we did many things. Like

spk_0: 22:06
And then he can picture from the airport and yes, on you here. Imagine. Wait.
spk_1: 22:14
Just one luggage. 20 started kilogramme. And I'm still here.
spk_0: 22:19
Still here. How? How long have you been here? Imagine now.
spk_1: 22:23
Oh, is Sabine United's three years this April?
spk_0: 22:29
Imagine just left to go anywhere. Other holidays, of course,
spk_1: 22:36
assumed arrived here he always want. Teo was always one to show me in the car. Donna with the most famous place in Colombia, unesco e Teo was amazing. It's beautiful and it's very touristy off course, and it's a bit expensive, but it's just too half form. Age is too hard to Teo and more on also, I went to Cali. I actually you enter colony Teo work as a Korean teacher their way. How I started teaching Korea and is called centric Korea and the as about what year. So I worked over there over three months, and I liked it. I loved it, the job, but it Cali was to me. It's super hard, and at the same time I don't know. I love the matters that I prefer to be the city medicine, nice weather and then a lot of cafe restaurant. You could just walk around by yourself. It's very safe the time,
spk_0: 23:54
and I get a bit sketchy at times. Yes, it's a pencil. You are my friend was robbed in the day by John Point.
spk_1: 24:05
But when it comes Teo, the NASA Kali is the the place is the place. I was just not interested in dancing salsa, but I learned there because I didn't know what to do about
spk_0: 24:19
it because
spk_1: 24:19
it's too high. It's impossible to go at the time there, but it's made into Lorries are startin Joyce also that the culture and I also into Hardin's a lento
spk_0: 24:31
been around like a fair bit around Colombia, which is good, so you haven't just been stuck in managing for three years s o tell me. Of course E B never 30 I love coming back here every time every time vacuums.
spk_1: 24:49
Well, why do you like so much of this? In what? Let me ask you Because you are actually travelling all around the world literally. Why?
spk_0: 25:00
I think I don't know. It's just so I think when I first came here, I didn't speak any any Any Spanish Didn't know really anything. E I don't know anyone or anything. And I just didn't know Cem Colombians on the Gold Coast and long storey short. It was just like, you know, they said go to Columbia. So I went there for a week, went to manage it for a week back in 2015 came back and I was like, I'm going to move there. So it took me like, nearly two years to save money, and Teo Teo learned how to make money online, and then then I just basically moved over here. But then it's so different to the Gold Coast in Australia. There's no beaches where we are matter, Jeanne. It's like, you know, it's like in a valley a little bit of altitude. It's It's just beautiful green trees everywhere and stuff like that. Not seeing straight doesn't have that. They definitely do. But it's just different to what I'm used to so manage in. I think like I was living in Australia like nearly $5000 a month. I moved over here and I was living here for less than $2000 a month, less than $1500 a month. So it was really cheap. Times are changing. It's getting more and more expensive now. Depends like if you want to live in the main city, it's going to be more expensive. Of course, leave just outside managing. It's going to be a little bit cheaper and you know it's good. It's good quality. There's so many cool restaurants and bars and cafes. The people are beautiful. That goes our beautiful, lithe Colombian girl. We can't deny
spk_1: 26:31
that they're they're beautiful.
spk_0: 26:33
Way cannot definitely cannot deny that, like the the touching culture, like how they know the they very affectionate
spk_1: 26:42
here, called a very guarded I don't wear that,
spk_0: 26:57
but yeah, I mean, like, I learned how to dance by chart on like you know, I love Teo s. I like to dance. I never like to dance, but, you know, at the end of the day, it's just it's just a cool place I like. It's way more relaxed. If you wanted to run on online business, you could run an online business here very easily. Imagine not have the overhead expenses, that crazy amount of expenses that you might have in Sydney, in Australia or New York or any really anywhere else. We could pay a rant and stuff like that. You can sit here in marriage in and just take it easy, and I loved doing that. So managing is still definitely like one of my top cities with my top city in the world. So far, I like how it is a little bit sketchy, little bit dangerous at times, too. I don't know why, but you just you could still be aware yourself. You know, if you're a girl or a guy, you got to be aware what what you wear. You know where you're going, you're out late at night. There's still things that can happen at the end of days. Colombia.
spk_1: 27:53
How many does it come here? It's a bean I think of you women like this's like, third or fourth time.
spk_0: 28:00
Yeah, I've bean here since 2015. I think it's been five times in five years. When I was living here for eight months, I think see living here for eight months or something like a left wing in Canada and came back. I just kept back here. But anyway, still still come about. But but yes. Oh, meta genes. Awesome. Money's question for you is you here in Virginia from South Korea. You know, what do you do to earn money? Like I'm sure people wondering how does summer make money here in managing? Sorry, not career.
spk_1: 28:40
Um, I'll be very honest first after, Ah, Korea, which means, as I'm not an English speaker is really difficult to get a job here, so Well, I tried. They tried to apply to international company in my CV in English because I used to work in American companies so they will be easier. We'll also tried to the company here. Local companies, actually I study fashion, so I tried to get into something that will teach the company. And also the thing is in Colombia, all everything is through the compacts. So try to that way too. But no, no. Never made it. Actually, I oh, debated. You know, I never get any interviews, and I don't know what's going on. Well, later, I heard that some hiring foreigners here is a really difficult for them and especially in Colombia. Well, anyway, although I got the job, my salary will not
spk_0: 29:41
really. It's pretty low.
spk_1: 29:43
Yeah. Anyway, so I got them. I couldn't do it. Well, I thought there was time. I might go back to Korea to make a money and come back here again, but I thought, if I just go back to my my country Then again, I saw there will be more difficult to start. I think if I came back to Colombia than I thought there would be starting from zero again.
spk_0: 30:06
So what did you do? So how do you know? How are you making money?
spk_1: 30:08
Yes. Oh, first So it comes to me. Okay. Whatever happens, I have to definitely improve my Spanish. So I study a lot. And I tried to any ways to improve my Spencer one of the ways. So I got through the language exchange it application So I talked to try to talk to, to make friends as well, Then one of my friends that who I met in application Are you career? Yes, I am, actually. Can you teach Korean to me? Yeah. Za High star
spk_0: 30:43
is Colombian.
spk_1: 30:44
Yeah. Here's Colombia. Yes. OK, well, I didn't mean Tio. Why? We're talking. He found that I used to work in the Central Theatre Korea? No, in Cali. So he worked on. Okay, well, at least we can talk in Korea because of what he told me. He actually tried to a lot. That scholarship a Korea University. Dennis Kohler from Korean couple months. He didn't make it. You make it. So you want to try against me, But he wants to be prepared properly in the interview in Korea. Okay. So I can help you. And then yes. So there how? I started my Korean class and there was a 1 to 1. And we
spk_0: 31:29
know he was paying you. Teo, teach him

lamentable. He wants to pay me. Maybe he liked my class because I thought that was a really great chance. So I really prepared a lot. I was still remember. I studied 10 hours before Just for one class. Because I saw this is definitely my chance. So, yeah, I think that for tonight till he liked it and paid me more than I expected and how I started. So I tried Teo. I gave it my classes where I used to take the Spanish class. They all fit the university. The good thing about this university is very internationalise it. They always have the intercompany exchanges extended student at the same time. The students over there, the studying management. They have to speak ELISA Storey language to graduate so Korean could be one of them. So I try to put on the flyers on the part of the university. Oh, I saw the university. That's if I get my more students over there. So how to give you the closest in the uni with a student? That house grows up and later Then I got my grew close. Yes.
