Today is my eleventh day in Da Nang, Vietnam — and my K-ETA has been approved

Yesterday, I received a notification in my email about my K-ETA for South Korea. It was approved for 2 years, until 2028. So in the next few days, I need to decide whether to go to South Korea or not. If I do go, I can leave in the last week of August, because I’ve already rented an apartment until August 23.

I wanted to go to Seoul, but when I checked the available apartments, I was a little surprised — all the decent ones were already booked for August, September, and even part of October. Over the next week, I'll keep checking for available apartments, and if I find one within my budget, I’ll go to South Korea.

And if I don't go to South Korea, I have a second plan. I'll go to Ho Chi Minh City and spend the last week of August there. After that, I'll go to Singapore. I need to make a decision this week and book all my tickets and accommodation.
