"Since we clicked well, working with him was also easy. And of course. since he is also from Korea, the working style is familiar to me that I felt like I was back in Korea. It was fun introducing him to the Filipino working style too because it reminded me of how I first started working here," he shared.

Lastly, he shared that with Andy around, he feels less lonely in the Philippines because they have a lot of things in common.

Alexander said that, "I’m actually really happy! Since I’m from South Korea, it is hard for people here to relate to my feelings regarding cultural difference in work. But now that he is here, it comforts me a lot that he understands me. I’m also less lonelier because I have a new neighbor! He moved his room next to mine so we often grab a bite together."
